Handbuilding Meets the Wheel Mixed Level: 12 weeks: Wednesday PM

Handbuilding meets mixed level wheel throwing covering the basics and beyond (12 weeks) 

We will begin playing with clay and forming pots with slab, pinch and coil techniques. We will explore handbuilding by creating functional and sculptural work for the first 4 weeks.

We will then transition to wheel throwing where new students will learn how to center on the wheel and throw cylinders, bowls and more. Returning students will continue to build skills and learn to throw larger forms, make lidded vessels, assemble multiple parts, make sets, and more with an added focus on designing a pot before and after creation. 

The lessons are based on students interests. Wheel Throwing will be the primary focus with handbuilding skills demonstrated when applicable.  Class will start with demos and move onto wheel time.
