Dinnerware Sets Wheel Throwing
Mondays 5:30PM in May (except Memorial Day)
This course will allow the student to expound upon their basic skills and will focus on creating a matching tableware set for 2. Each set will include a Dinner Plate, Salad Plate, Everyday Bowl and Coffee Mug. We ask that each student please take time prior to week 1 of class and find inspiration for the overall look of their set. The goal for these sets is to have the same form and function carried throughout all the pieces.
Handbuilding 1
Come and learn the most ancient form of pottery in a relaxed small group setting. These lessons will focus on pinch, coil, slab and glaze application with the use of basic tools. Handbuilding provides a unique opportunity to gain control of your ceramic pieces by learning how to apply details and give your clay an organic aesthetic!
