Skill Level: Three (Intermediate)

• For wheel: Pull 6 inch tall cylinders and 4 inch wide round bottom bowls as well as be able to trim and/or completion of Wheel Throwing Level Two

• For handbuilding: Understanding of basic handbuilding techniques as well as basic glazing/finishing knowledge and/or completion of Handbuilding Level Two

This hybrid (wheel and handbuilding) class is designed to help you improve your ceramic skills and get you to the next stage of your journey, wherever that may be. Whether your interests are on the wheel or by hand, functional or decorative, pottery or sculpture, we will work together to move you forward! Demonstrations will be decided based on group and individual needs.

What we do in this class:

Each month we meet at the beginning of the first class to discuss what we have been/are working on, what our goals are for the month, and to talk about the month’s prompts.

I provide everyone with two prompts: one thematic in nature and the other a type of object which could be a specific form or a specific function. These help provide a creative spark and some direction for you to work on skills in both making and development of ideas while allowing for endless possibilities for individual interpretation.

A demonstration and/or presentation will be related to the month’s prompts and additional demos will be dictated by group and individual interests and needs.

I, of course, am available during class times to assist and support you in any way I can!
