Tool Making for Pottery Workshop (2 Day)

by

Enjoy two days of tool-making for your pottery studio kit. For this workshop, we will get creative off the wheel  – nothing is off limits as a potential clay tool and no clay tool has just one use. Each student will leave with new tools for their trade, tools which they made by their own hand. Tools created will include a personal trimming bat, tools for shaping and creating consistency from piece to piece and more. Previous introductory wheel throwing experience is advised for students to gain the most from this workshop.  All work will be fired and ready for pick up 7-14 days after your class. We do not ship class work. If artwork is not picked up after 60 days it will be recycled.
