Ceramics 201: Cylinders (2 Day Intensive)

In this focused workshop, students will learn to throw a perfect cylinder—the foundation for countless pottery forms. Why is this so important? Approximately 85% of all pots are variations of the cylinder, making it an essential skill for any potter. By mastering this technique, you’ll gain the freedom to explore a wide range of shapes, from tumblers and mugs to pitchers, casseroles, jars, and beyond.

This class is designed to help you refine your throwing skills, enabling you to create precise and consistent cylinders. Once you’ve achieved this, the possibilities are endless, as the cylinder serves as the basis for nearly every type of pottery you can imagine. Join us to unlock the potential of your pottery practice and expand your creative horizons.

This class is an 2 day intensive. Each class is 8 hours long, starting at 9am, for both days. There will be a lunch break included, please bring lunch with you. We have a microwave and a fridge available.
