Ceramics - Beginning & Returning Wheel Throwing (4-Week Sessions)

This class will focus on the fundamentals of throwing on the wheel, along with basic hand- building, sculpting, and altering techniques. Students will learn to wedge, center, throw, trim and glaze functional tableware including, but not limited to, cups, mugs, bowls, plates/platters, vases, bottles, lidded-containers, etc. The final class will be dedicated to glazing and decorating ware. Pieces will be high-fired in our gas kiln, however, due to the kiln only being fired when full, pieces may not be complete when class ends. They will be fired & kept at the studio for pick-up up to a month after class ends. Health & Safety - Students will need to wear closed-toed shoes, have long hair tied back, and avoid loose-fitting clothing which may get caught on items in the kiln yard.
