The course will cover basic pottery wheel throwing techniques where students will develop or continue to improve, their skills in centering, throwing and trimming pottery forms. Students will learn to make the two most common forms from which almost all pottery stems; a cylinder and a bowl. From there we will learn more advanced skills and how to embellish our pieces with carvings, handles, additions and or other accents.

  • 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.
  • A $25 fee for 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.
