This course offers an introduction to basic wheel techniques. Through demonstration and practice, students will learn how to center clay and throw simple shapes on the wheel. Hand building is also offered as an addition or alternative to the wheel. Students may choose to use hand building techniques of pinch, coil and slab to create their own pieces. Different methods will be used to decorate the pieces before and after a bisque firing. All pieces will be finished by glazing. Class is limited to 12 students.
