Friday Mornings Advanced Wheel Thrown Pottery

Fridays, 9:30-12:30, April 10-June 19, NO CLASS April 24, May 29

 

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 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 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. 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 and you will work and learn together. There’s always tea and sometimes there’s treats!

$594 + hst = $671.22 for 9 week course. Includes all the new clay you can use (Tuckers MSS), custom slips, underglazes, 10 glaze colours, and all firing. Link to Square Payment
