Welcome to our 6-week Pottery Saturday Sessions for beginner and intermediate students! If you’ve taken our beginner’s class or completed an intro session elsewhere, this course is designed to help you refine your skills and explore more advanced techniques and forms.
Join us on Saturday mornings from 10-12:30 PM as we guide you through the next steps in wheel throwing, from perfecting basic techniques to tackling more challenging shapes.
In this workshop, we’ll build on your existing skills, focusing on consistency and control while introducing new techniques. You’ll expand your repertoire by working on forms such as larger vessels, plates, altered shapes, and lidded jars. Your finished pieces will be carefully fired in our kilns and will be ready for pickup 2-3 weeks after the session concludes.
Program Overview:
Week 1: Revisit and refine foundational throwing techniques, focusing on consistency and control.
Week 2: Explore throwing larger forms, emphasizing balance and proportion.
Week 3: Focus on throwing plates, mastering wide and flat forms.
Week 4: Learn to create lidded jars and work with tighter-fitting forms.
Week 5: Experiment with altering thrown forms to create unique shapes and textures.
Week 6: Develop surface decoration skills and advanced glazing techniques to add detail and character to your pieces.
