Whether you are a professional potter, aspiring to be, or a hobbyist this class is for you.
Having completed Part 1 you now a deeper understanding of the properties moving clay with greater skill and less struggle. We have increased our volumes of clay too. So now you are ready to push the boundaries with your work, increasing creative risks while continuing to develop approaches to varying forms. Watch how creative you become.
In this workshop we will continue to hone our skills and explore how a pot evolves and changes. Efficient throwing, using all the clay, balancing your pull with wheel speed, choking clay successfully, handles and attachments that are clean, balanced and accent the form are all emphasized during the week. Each student will push their current skill set beyond their current level.
What to expect:
- Throwing even larger volumes of clay
- Throwing large rims and foot rims
- Stacking clay with finesse
- Adding textured slabs to a wheel thrown pot
- Mastering handles
- Holding clay to the top of your pot
We will continue our discussions with critiques, sharing and “what if’ discussions.
You will receive an email approximately 3 weeks before the workshop with details, a map and what tools to bring.
