- **Event Description**: Join local potter Axel Pforter for a practical, hands-on 4-week journey into the art of wheel-throwing.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine your centering, this course offers a structured path from a lump of clay to a finished, functional piece of art. 

What You’ll Master

The course is designed to build your skills progressively, ensuring you find your "rhythm" on the wheel.

Week 1 - The Foundation Master the essential mechanics. You’ll learn the "Big Three": centering the clay, opening the base, and pulling the walls to create height.

Week 2: Finding Form The goal is the classic cylinder. This fundamental shape is the gateway to all pottery, teaching you control, wall thickness, and vertical stability.

Week 3: Expansion & Expression Shift your focus to the bowl. Axel will demonstrate how to guide clay into intentional curves. Plus, enjoy a slip decoration demo to see how color and texture can transform a surface.

Week 4: The Final Touch Your choice! Dive into slip-decorating your final pieces to make them truly yours, or spend the extra time perfecting your throw.

Note: Pieces thrown in Week 4 will be finished with a classic transparent glaze to ensure they are fired and ready for use.
