ART SCHOOL / CLASS LISTINGS

Wheel Thrown and Altered

Adults

Explore the relationship between wheel-throwing and hand-building to expand your creative possibilities with clay. In this intermediate-level course, students will throw vessel forms on the wheel, then incorporate hand-built elements to alter and enhance their work. You'll leave with fresh techniques, new ideas, and a deeper sense of individuality in your ceramic practice. Prior wheel experience is required.

Tuition includes guaranteed access to 3 Ceramics Open Studio sessions per registered class. Ceramics Open Studio is an opportunity to practice skills outside class. A sign up sheet will be available when class starts.

Given the complexities of firing, we cannot guarantee student work will be fired in the order in which it was received. Students will be emailed each time the kiln has been fired and unloaded. Because of limited space we can only hold onto finished pieces for three (3) weeks and will discard any unclaimed pieces after the posted date.
