Wheel Throwing Boot Camp
Workshops | Available
Do you want to try wheel throwing, but aren’t ready to commit to a multi-week session? This 2-day, low stakes, fun workshop is ideal for beginners eager to try the electric potter’s wheel. Step-by-step, you’ll learn the basics and try your hand at making symmetrical vessels on the potter’s wheel. Hands on, it includes an understanding of materials, processes and tools to create finished ceramic vessels. Choose your best pieces at the end of Boot Camp to be fired & glazed. You might even love it and sign up for a multi-week class!
Students will be able to pick up their fired pieces within 2 weeks after the workshop ends.
Just bring an apron, wear comfy clothing and be ready to get your hands messy!

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!
