Ever wanted to learn how to throw small pieces but struggle to center small amounts of clay? This is the class for you! We will throw a vase, a bowl, and a ring or candle holder "off the hump." You will learn how to center just the top portion of the clay, how to determine the bottom of your piece, and how to safely cut it off and place it on a drying bat. You will get the most out of this class if you already have a good understanding of centering and confidence with various shapes. The clay is included in the cost of the class. Please bring your own throwing tools (string will be provided).
