Workshop Outline:

Week 1:
Practice centering clay on the wheel. Play around and try out the different tools in the studio.

Week 2:
In this week, students will focus on creating bowls for everyday use and embrace the messiness of the process!

Week 3:
Practice the art of turning clay and continue to throw new forms!

Week 4: Glazing
This week is all about turning and glazing. Get creative with materials in the studio to produce unique results.

Learn about different glazes and discover how they work by applying them to your pieces.

Firing:
The works made will be wood-fired in our kiln!

Students are encouraged to attend the wood-firing event, which generally takes place within two weeks of the final class. The wood firing is weather-dependent, as the kiln is outdoors.
