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.

For questions or assistance please contact Elizabeth Buccino, Director of Education*
