THROWING ON THE POTTER'S WHEEL:
Beginning / Advanced Beginning

A fun and totally hands-on foundation course in making wheel-thrown pottery.  Designed for absolute beginners as well as folks who have thrown before but want to get restarted or refreshed.

Learn to center the clay, to create bowls, mugs, vases, covered dishes, and other forms, to wheel-trim your pieces, and to glaze for beautiful results.

Join us for a very satisfying experience!

Instructor: Biz Ireland

6 Wednesdays, Nov 16 - Dec 21, 7:00 - 9:00pm

Fee*: $228

*Fee includes clay, glazes, and firings. Also included is up to 2 hours, during each class week, of uninstructed practice time during our normal open hours.


 

THROWING ON THE POTTER'S WHEEL:  Advanced Beginning / Intermediate

A technique-focused class that is appropriate
for beginners and those with experience as well. Your instructor works with you to advance your skills regardless of your level at the start. Each week you will review the prior week's techniques and add new skills from there. Gloria suggests you bring a notebook to class to aid your learning.

Next session: TBA
 

 

HANDBUILT!

Aren't handmade gifts the BEST? In the first two classes you'll build your pieces from slabs, coils, pinching... And in the third class you'll glaze. For advanced beginners and intermediate. (Not for absolute beginners.)

Next session: TBA
