Friday Mornings Wheel Thrown Pottery
Fridays, 9:30-12:30, April 12 - June 14, NO CLASS May 10
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 before. The course will focus on building our wheel throwing skills, decorating techniques and developing your personal style. We’ll practice throwing taller and thinner and shaping our pots with more intention. You’ll also grow your trimming skills to create lighter, more even pots. We will start with the basic pottery forms: cylinders (which become mugs, vases and pitchers), then, bowls and plates. There will be room to try more complex forms, and opportunities help shape your curriculum. Decorating techniques will include coloured slips, underglazes and coloured glazes. You will create a body of work, likely 12-20 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.

Where would you like to see yourself in a year? What do you want more of in your life? What makes you happy? From the little things to the big ones, defining, visualizing, and writing about your dreams and goals helps turn them into reality.
In this workshop we will get creative, starting off with a little grounding and meditation, moving through a writing exercise, colouring and painting our Word of the Year for focus, and finally do a collage of images and words to create your Vision Board. The experience is playful and thoughtful, you’ll enjoy conversation, tea and even a little snack as we create a visual display of what we would each like to manifest in lives.
All supplies will be provided to make your own Vision Board to take home, including a 17”x23” corkboard, colourful pins, collage materials from premium magazines (although you are welcome to bring extra magazines if you have them), as well as a multitude of pens, markers, paints, paper, scissors, glue and maybe even glitter!
