Location: 2011 Tracy Ave

Skill Level: Intermediate (must have taken 2-3 throwing classes or equivalent experience)

This course is part one in a three course series that focuses on making a variety of table wares.

Plates and platters are seemingly easy to make, but if you have ever attempted to make one,

you know how challenging it can be. In this session we will focus on refining technique and

making a variety of flatware- and learn to make it well! We will survey what it means to make

quality flatware and find solutions to do so. From there, we will expand on our methods to make

other specialty items that involve the plate and platter.
