Note: YOU WILL NOT MAKE ANY VESSELS IN THIS CLASS, however, you will be given pre-made pieces unless you are using pieces you made in our Beginner Throwing in Ceramics class. This is a 2-hour pottery wheel lesson taught in a group setting. Each person will work with 2lbs worth of leather hard vessels, and choose a color for their chosen pieces. The instructor will guide you step by step through the trimming process, and give feedback to each person as needed. This class has lots of trial and error and your piece may break or get damaged in the process. Yes, this is part of the process, and although much effort is made to ensure vessels survive, it cannot be guaranteed.
