Wheel Throwing Skills Workshop

Description

Push your throwing skills to the next level with a one-week wheel throwing workshop. This workshop will give you the opportunity to practice your throwing techniques with a goal of refining approach, building new skilling and challenging yourself to throw new forms. This class will meet each night during the week. Each class will focus on a new skill or throwing challenge. Work completed during the workshop will be bisque fired and available for pick up following the completion of the workshop. Glaze firing is not included. This workshop is intended for students with previous throwing experience who intend to continue with ceramics.

Supplies

Each registered student will receive 1 (25lb) bag of clay. Additional clay can be purchased through our website. Students are expected to bring their own pottery tools that would include a Wire Clay Cutter, a Sponge, a Steel Scraper, a Potter's Rib, a Loop Tool, a Needle Tool, and a Boxwood Modeling Tool.
