Decorative Functional Pottery- Wheel Throwing
Adult Classes | Available
Immerse yourself in this inclusive hybrid class designed to focus on form and function in your chosen process, with an emphasis on surface enhancement. With weekly demos, you’ll refine techniques and define your style while markedly expanding your skills. Wheel throwers must already know how to wedge, center and pull walls. After a short demo each week, students will continue to work on their own personal path.
- Please note that this class runs 5 WEEKS.
Rebecca Matarazzi
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!
