Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this pottery wheel class:

In this 16-session class, we will explore wheel throwing, handbuilding, and glazing techniques.

Beginners will start with a few sessions of handbuilding to develop confidence working with clay, then move on to wheel throwing and glazing, and may be surprised to learn how much beautiful, functional work can be done through handbuilding. Anything thrown on the wheel can be handbuilt!

Demos will take place at the beginning of almost every class.

Handbuilding demos will include:

  • Coil
  • Slab
  • Extruded
  • Pinch construction
Throwing demos will include:

  • Mugs and handles
  • Trimming
  • Taller vessels
  • Bowls
  • Plates
  • Throwing off the hump
  • Lidded forms
Glazing demos will begin at session 4 or 5 and continue throughout the semester.

Students are welcome to spend as much time as they like on their favorite technique. Functional and sculptural skills will be developed in both throwing and handbuilding.

Intermediate students are welcome to request more specific demos once the basics of the course have been covered.

Question from EYi H.
What’s included?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi Eyi! The studio provides clay, glazes, some tools, and access to equipment. The only additional expenses for this class would be a recommended tool kit (approximately $15), firing fees for the kiln ($.04 per cubic inch), and they offer additional open studio hours for purchase if the student exceeds the initial 3 free hours. Hope this helps!
