It's time to play in the mud on the potter's wheel. Potters will develop skills for creating wheel-thrown pots of form and function for everyday use. The potter's wheel and ideas will be the foundation for exploring personal expression in these wheel-thrown pots. There will be an abundance of one-on-one instruction for individual skill building in a small class setting. Course cost includes tools, up to 12 pounds of throwing clay and firings.
Please be aware this class requires a certain level of manual dexterity and hand strength.
