NOV Continuing Wheel: Saturdays (26')

Service Description

In this 4 week course, you’ll build on the fundamentals of wheel throwing and start developing more control over your clay. This class is designed for students who have some experience on the wheel and are ready to learn how to work with more clay, create taller forms, and better understand how to shape and support your pieces as you throw. You’ll focus on techniques that help you get more out of the clay you’re already working with, including pulling more clay from the bottom of your piece, stretching and collaring to create taller forms, and learning how these basic forming techniques can change the shape and proportions of your work. This is a great next step for students who have taken Beginning Wheel and want to continue building their skills before moving into Intermediate Wheel. Our 4 week courses come with outside practice time every week where you can come in for an additional 2 hours to practice what you learned in class. See our Student Practice Time tab in our menu for more details. Lessons are as follows: Week 1: Throwing
 Week 2: Throwing
+ Trimming Week 3: Trimming + Attachments Week 4: 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. Clay is not included for Practice Times but is available to purchase by the pound, half bag or full bag at the studio. 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. 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.
