Beyond Beginners Wheel Thrown Pottery
Fridays, 9:30am-12:30pm, September 15 - November 24, NO CLASS Oct 6 or Nov 17
That’s 9 weeks of “pottery club!” This course is for anyone who has taken at least one 6-8 week wheel thrown pottery class with me before. We will focus on making pottery on the wheel. We’ll still start with cylinders – they’re the basis of everything, and we’ll practice throwing taller and thinner. We’ll practice shaping our pots with more intention. We’ll try using more clay, practicing centering and using all the clay from the bottom up. You’ll also grow your trimming skills to create lighter, more even pots. We’ll do this with the basic pottery forms: cylinder, bowl, vase. There will also be room to try more complex things, and also opportunities help shape your curriculum. Decorating techniques will include coloured slips, underglaze and coloured glazes. You will create a body of work, likely 20+ pieces, which will all be glazed and fired, to be picked up a few weeks after the last class.
This course is ideal for students who can center 1.5lbs reliably most of the time, even if you still feel like a beginner (clay keeps us humble), as well as for those of us who have been practicing for years, because we can always continue to hone our skills. There will be a range of skill levels within the class and you will work and learn together. There’s always tea and sometimes there’s food!

Bad weather policy: I will use the 511 app to check road conditions 2 hours before class. If "red" or "yellow" you will be notified by email that the class is postponed and added to the end of the session, keeping the same number of classes. No refunds can be offered. Missed class policy: There are no refunds or makeup classes available for group classes, but I will review the missed lessons and help you catch up next class.
