Wheel Classes
| Beginning Wheel | |||||||||||
| Designed for those individuals who want to experience clay; for those
beginners who want to expand their experience, or for those who are ready
for a refresher. This class includes an introduction to the potter's wheel, focusing on wedging, shaping, trimming, simple glazing techniques, and studio safety. Aesthetic consideration will also be discussed. Typically, students take this class more than once before they are comfortable moving on to the next level. We want you to learn what it takes to throw a pot, but it's just as important to us that you have a good experience. We also have designed the beginning pottery classes to give you the basic skills and knowledge (after a couple of sessions) to become an open studio member. No prior art experience is required. Demonstrations, group discussions. One-to-one attention will be given to each student. TEACHERS: We are accredited for teacher
recertification points! Includes 25 lbs. clay, class glaze, and
oxidation firing. |

| Beginning to Intermediate Wheel | |||||||||||
| For those who have some basic wheel-throwing skills such as centering,
pulling and trimming, we've designed a course that helps you get to the
next level. Students should be able to throw a 6-inch cylinder. Learn lids, handles, spouts, joined forms, glaze
preparation, decoration and other techniques. More advanced students
will be encouraged to work independently and present ideas for projects
they would like to make. Beginning students are welcome to
attend.
