A ONE WEEKEND concentrated beginner wheel course for students who would like a complete pottery experience without committing to six consecutive weeks. More experienced students are also welcome to improve throwing, trimming, and finishing skills.
Small, intimate class size of 5 students maximum allows for individualized instruction.
Saturday — 4 hours: Wheel fundamentals, centering, throwing cylinders, bowls, and functional forms.
Sunday — 3 hours: Trimming, finishing, handles, and refinement of work made Saturday.
Approximately two weeks later — 2 hours: Students return to glaze their bisque-fired work using AP CLAY studio glazes.
Total instructional time: 9 hours.
12.5 pounds of 182 White Stoneware clay included, along with use of studio tools, studio glazes, bisque firing, and glaze firing within the class firing allowance.
Minimum enrollment of 4 students required. Maximum enrollment is 5 students. Unfortunately, Substitute attendee allowed but NO refunds once the intensive is confirmed. Because this is a concentrated course, missed Saturday, Sunday, or glazing sessions cannot be substituted with another class. No commercial production permitted.
Students are encouraged to bring their own towel and/or apron. Studio aprons are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Studio liability release form required prior to starting class.
