Course Description

ALL LEVELS WELCOME. Explore the potter’s wheel in this challenging, but fun, class. Instructor, Kate Kasmer, will demonstrate all of the basics steps needed to create your own functional vessels on the pottery wheel. Wedging, centering, and throwing small forms will all be covered, as well as handle-making and simple decorative techniques for personalizing your work. Intermediate and advanced levels students will continue building their skills while exploring more challenging techniques and troubleshooting.

*Wheelthrowing can be very messy so please dress accordingly- short sleeves recommended. Feel free to bring an apron.

OPEN STUDIO TIME Additional studio hours are available to adult students who are registered for a class to practice the skills you have learned. Scheduled times will start the week of July 14 and be offered on Mondays from 6:30–8:30pm, Fridays from 1-4pm

Eve Wetlaufer

Inspired by the hues, flora, and fauna of Nantucket’s singular beauty, Eve Wetlaufer creates functional wheel-thrown ceramic art in forms and colors meant to both delight and soothe. Eve is taken with the healing and grounding power of clay, and embraces pottery as an active meditative practice, one which she decided to embrace three years ago, after an education and career in animal and environmental justice, passions she hopes find their way into her pieces with a sense of peace. Eve sits on the board of Nantucket Island Safe Harbor for Animals and received her Masters in Animal Studies from NYU.
