Learn and hone the essential skills for creating wheel-thrown pottery. Students will explore various thrown forms like cups, bowls, vases, and lidded forms. Particular attention is given to functional wares, surface decorations, and the development of a personal aesthetic. Students with wheel-throwing experience who are comfortable working independently will be supported in advancing their skills while working on self-directed projects. Beginning students are also welcome and will receive basic wheel-throwing instruction. Lessons will be enhanced by demonstrations and visits to view the museum’s collection. One bag of Granite clay body and all firings and glazes are included with tuition.
