October Wheel Throwing

October Wheel Throwing - Using the potter’s wheel to make functional objects can be a very rewarding experience.  This class will cover the basics of working on the potter’s wheel.  If you have never tried this before, please expect some difficulty in the initial stages.  The focus will be to learn centering and then to pull shapes such as bowls (ex. berry bowls, soup bowls, colander, cereal bowls, etc) and cylinders (ex. Mugs, tumblers, sippers – based on the learning curve).  The second week of class will be trimming and practicing more shapes.  Glazing will take place the final week.  Some experience may be necessary. 

Class Meets:

October 15^th, 17^th, 22^nd, 24^th, 29^th, and 31^st
