Saturday

Bring your completed bisque ware and immerse yourself in an inspiring workshop guided by Tom Caswell. Explore the intricacies of glazes, understanding their mechanisms and versatile applications. In this session, you’ll have hands-on experience mixing glazes and practicing diverse application techniques, including dipping, brushing, pouring, and spraying. Tom will showcase how slips can artistically enhance ceramic pieces, encouraging creative exploration and empowering students to craft truly unique pottery pieces.

This opportunity is tailored for our weekly students aiming to gain a deeper insight into achieving exquisite finishes for their creations. 

Please note that the firing process takes 7-14 days, and your finished pieces will be available for pick-up only; shipping is not offered for class creations. Remember to collect your masterpiece within 60 days to avoid recycling. 

Teacher: Tom Caswell

Learn how to throw plates and large platters on the wheel with Tom Caswell. Plates serve as a versatile canvas, allowing potters to unleash their creativity through imaginative designs and decorations.  Tricks will be shared to prevent the most common errors such as “S” cracks and warping.  

This class is best suited for ceramic artists who are comfortable on the wheel and want to take their skills to the next level.  Plan on returning the following Saturday, during our open studio time, to finish your pieces (trimming or glazing).

Artwork will be fired by our dedicated clay studio staff.
