Beginner: Wheel Throwing
Wheel throwing is the process of shaping clay on the potter’s wheel. It usually involves a few steps such as wedging to prepare your clay, centering to secure your clay and opening and pulling up the walls. You can sign up to have a creative outlet, a stress buster, or maybe to refine the basics that you already know.
If you are on your way to become a professional potter or just trying a new skill, this is a good start. As you progress, you will understand the delicate balance between speed and stability as well as dampness and strength. This is a seven session workshop which also includes a basics to clay and pottery theory class and extra 6 hours of studio time for you to use for practice. No prior experience is required to join this class!
Please note that forming a perfect cylinder is the end goal for this class.
