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. *Photos are just examples of what can be made, artists are encouraged to make whatever they want!
Weekly Schedule:
Monday - Guided Practice on the wheel - Bowls
Tuesday - Independent Practice on the wheel - Mugs, bowls, cups
Wednesday - Handbuilding attachments/sculptural additives
Thursday - Finish handbuilding attachments, Glaze Day 1
Friday - GLAZE DAY 2
* ALL STUDENT WORK WILL BE FIRED AND RETURNED 2 WEEKS AFTER THE LAST DAY OF THEIR CLASS. PARENTS WILL BE NOTIFIED BY EMAIL.
