Learn the basics of throwing clay on a potter’s wheel in this four-part course for all skill levels! Join teaching artist Tara Weber inside SPAM’s Cole Creativity Center to learn how to center clay, pull cylinders, trim, and glaze. Each week’s class will focus on a new step of the process, including throwing, trimming, and glazing. Students will finish the course with an understanding of all the steps required to create a fully functional ceramic piece. Every student will have their artwork fired in our kiln by our kiln technician.
