Beyond Beginners Wheel Thrown Pottery

Fridays, 9:30am-12:30pm, January 12 – March 22, NO CLASS January 19 or March 15

 

That’s 9 weeks of “pottery club!” This course is for anyone who has taken at least two 6-8 week wheel thrown pottery classes 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 be room to try more complex things, and many 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!

$594+hst=$671.22 for 9 week course. Includes all materials and firing. Link to Square Payment

 

 

 

BAD WEATHER POLICY: SAFETY FIRST!
I use the Ontario 511 app to check the road conditions on all the roads in the area two hours before class start time. If the roads are anything other than “green” then we postpone class, and add another class at the end of the session. I also use The Weather Network to check for weather advisories that may affect conditions later the day.

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.


The studio is located at 4353 Queens Ave, Ailsa Craig, ON N0M 1A0, which is actually in Nairn, a small community just outside of Ailsa Craig, 20 minutes Northwest of London.
