MAR Pottery Wheel I: Wednesday PM

Service Description

In this 6 week course, you’ll discover the joys of making functional pottery on the wheel, learning the entire process from start to finish. Wheel throwing is a wonderful creative outlet and stress reliever, and this is the perfect class to get started. Beginning Wheel is geared toward absolute beginners, and is also great for anyone with a bit of experience who’d like some extra practice. We recommend taking this a couple times before moving on to more intermediate or advanced courses. Lessons are as follows: Week 1: Throwing
 Week 2: Trimming + Attachments Week 3: Glazing Week 4: Throwing Week 5: Trimming + Surface Decoration Week 6: Glazing Classes meet once a week for 2 hour sessions. Course fee includes everything you need: clay, use of studio tools, a rainbow of cone 5 glazes to choose from. In each class session, you will build on what you learned and made the previous week, so we strongly advise you to make sure you’ll be able to attend all class sessions before signing up. It is especially important that you attend the first class, so if you think you might have to miss week 1, please consider enrolling in another session. We do not offer make up classes at this time. Long nails can make working with clay very frustrating. We recommend cutting them close before attending class. Also, clay is messy. Please dress accordingly and bring along an apron and a towel/rag for wiping your hands throughout the process. Lastly, we work with moving equipment and long hair needs to be pulled back. See you in class.
