Ready to elevate your ceramic practice? This intermediate class builds on foundational skills through hands-on instruction, demonstrations, and dedicated practice time.
Wheel Work: Master essential forms—cylinders, cups, and bowls—while learning efficient techniques like throwing off the hump. Develop the muscle memory and centering consistency that separates beginners from confident throwers.
Hand-Building: Move beyond basics into intentional, complex construction. Create lidded vessels, multi-section pieces, and sculptural forms using refined slab, coil, and pinch techniques.
Design & Surface: Learn to work in series with attention to proportion and visual rhythm. Explore texture through carving, stamping, and slip decoration. Make informed glaze selections that enhance your forms rather than diminish them.
Studio Access: Gain exclusive open studio hours — your time to experiment, fail forward, and push your practice between classes.
Each student receives a 50lb bag of clay to start, with additional clay available for purchase as your ambitions grow. The registration price is inclusive of a $5 processing fee.
