The Monday evening class at West Hartford Art League welcomes students at all levels. All students will have the option to wheel throw or hand build ceramic forms either functional or sculptural. 

 

Beginners will learn how to center clay on the wheel, pull the clay into a cylinder with an eye to making bowls, mugs and small vases.

 

Intermediate and advanced students will have the option to focus on their own projects and receive guidance on complex forms and techniques, or participate in graduated assigned projects related to advanced forms such as lidded vessels or teapots.

 

Some tools are available onsite but students should plan to bring their own tools by purchasing a beginner pottery tool set at an art supply store such as Jerry's Artarama or Dick Blick Art Supplies.

  • No class Memorial Day 5/27/24

  • 25 lbs of clay is included in the class fee. Glazes and firing are also included in the class fee. Additional clay may be purchased at the same fee if needed during the session. Students are required to bring their own pottery tool kit available at Jerry’s Artarama and most art supply stores. The kit should include: needle tool, large and small ribbon/shaving tool, wire tool and rib. Cost of the kit at Jerry’s is approximately $7.99.
