Winter Session: 8 week Intermediate Combo Class: January 7 - February 25

With Meg Smith on Thursday Evenings 6:00-8:30pm

Join our combo class and learn the full spectrum of ceramic techniques!  In this class you will explore the fundamentals of both handbuilding and wheel throwing.  This 8-week course is designed for potters who are comfortable with the basics of wheel throwing and handbuilding. If you can consistently center clay, throw a cylinder, and have a good understanding of the firing process, this is the perfect class to take your work to the next level.

You'll explore handbuilding and wheel throwing concepts, and create projects combining several of these techniques to form truly unique pieces!

This class is the perfect opportunity to learn the entire process of pottery, from shaping and forming to finishing your creations.  Come get your hands dirty and find your bliss!  For ages 15+
