Course Description

ALL LEVELS WELCOME. Explore the potter’s wheel in this challenging, but fun, class. Nell Van Vorst will demonstrate 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.
