This course is designed for intermediate/advanced ceramic enthusiasts who have a solid foundation in pottery, looking to grow their creativity and knowledge of wheel throwing. Through individual and group discussion the class looks to offer guidance in wheel techniques for stack vessels, jars and lids, teapots, unique handle designs, trimming, and different ways to deal with large amounts of clay on the wheel. The course will also introduce knowledge of clay bodies- the way they react to certain circumstances during the creation process, aesthetics of form, surface decoration, glaze techniques, and some interesting historical context that still has relevance to the medium today. Expect a collaborative and dynamic environment where you can experiment with new ideas, receive constructive feedback, and grow as an artist!

June Open Studio Sign Up
The goal of Open Studio is for students to work freely on their own projects within a flexible schedule. Open Studio is open to students that have completed Wheel 1 or Handbuilding. During these hours students may come in and work. This is not a led class, but a working studio where questions can be addressed to instructors and peers. We hope to create an environment where students can experiment and get creative while having a community of support!
