Potter’s wheel not recommended for children under 8.

Cups of all kinds; Pottery Wheel Based Workshop (1 Day)

by

This class is for those with some or no experience in ceramics. Varied demonstrations will allow for exposure to the different methods of making a ceramic cup by pottery wheel methods. Day 1 will be Pottery Wheel Based. Day 2 will be Handbuilding Based. Important aspects of making functional wares will be discussed along with common obstacles potters face. Students will be guided as to how cups can be finished and will have the option to add a colored slip to brighten their pieces or add illustrative elements. All work can be picked up by a later date. Students are encouraged to experiment with approaches that will allow them to finish artwork in class while the instructor is present to assist them.
