Intro To Wheel Throwing
Workshops | Available
Working on the potter's wheel is ideal for creating symmetrical and uniform pieces like bowls, mugs and vases. This Sunday afternoon workshop is ideal for beginners wanting to try their skills on the electric potter’s wheel. Hands on, it includes an understanding of materials, processes and tools to create pottery on the wheel. You’ll begin by first preparing the clay followed by coning, compressing, pulling and finishing the piece in a uniform fashion.
- All supplies included.
Please bring an apron and wear comfy clothing.

Using a variety of techniques in clay, my objective is to produce pieces for utilitarian purposes that convey a sense of tradition while allowing new concepts and ideas to develop. I get inspiration from the natural environment, creating designs for the home and kitchen that are pleasing both visually and tactilely. My teaching style is to observe each student and assess their individual needs in perfecting our craft. With a BS in Ceramics, Penn State University, I spend my days working in my pottery studio, using the Florida sun to hasten drying while fresh pieces await their first firing!
