Friday Mornings Advanced Wheel Thrown Pottery
Fridays, 9:30-12:30, September 18- November 20.
That’s 10 weeks of “pottery club!” This course is for anyone who has taken at least two 6-8 week wheel thrown pottery classes before. We will focus on growing your 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 larger and more complex forms, and opportunities help shape your curriculum. Decorating techniques will include coloured slips, underglazes and dipping glazes. We can do some experimenting with new colours. 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. Great for potters who have been working away independently for a while to shake things up and challenge yourself ! There will be a range of skill levels within the class, but this class is not for the absolute beginner. There’s always tea and sometimes there’s treats!
$660+ hst =$745.80 for 10 week course. Includes all the new clay you can use (Tuckers MSS), custom slips, underglazes, 9 glaze colours, and all firing
