This is a Wheel Throwing and Hand-building class! Great for all experience levels. In this class, students will work on the potter’s wheels to learn the basics of throwing; centering, opening, and pulling walls to make cylinders for cups or bowls. They will then use a variety of hand-building techniques to alter or add sculptural elements to those wheel thrown pieces. The last class is a glaze day! The themes are meant as inspiration to this age group. They are allowed and encouraged to follow their own artistic visions!
