Pottery Wheel Level 1

Learn wheel & throwing basics and create your own handmade pieces—no experience needed!

You will learn:

1. Throwing a basic cylinder: Intro to centering, coning, opening & pulling; how to remove pots from the wheel, drying, and storage.
2. Cylinders continued: Focusing on any area of difficulty.
3. Transforming the cylinder: Collaring in, pulling out, creating curves / bellies, flares and bowls.
4. Finishing your pots: Trimming all pieces and attachments, clean-up (handles, decorative sculptural elements)

All students are invited to an end-of-class glazing night, with an opportunity for community connection. There will be an instructor to teach finishing / glazing. Beginners will use brush-on stoneware glaze.
