Advanced Wheel throwing is a class designed for those ready to take their pottery to the next level by developing their unique voice in clay. Using a mix of fun exercises, thoughtful assignments, and thorough demonstrations, students will learn to hone their throwing skills and sharpen their critical thinking. Students should already have extensive knowledge of throwing on the pottery wheel. This class will use high fire stoneware and conclude with a cone 10 gas reduction firing. One bag of commercial stoneware, kiln firings, and related glazes are included.

In this intermediate class, we will draw inspiration from both historical and contemporary ceramics to explore the relationship between these elements of the pots we make. You will learn a variety of different hand building techniques for making and adding handles and learn to thank about the rim and foot of your work throught the entire process.

Pre-registration is required.
