We'll cover all you need to know about ceramics techniques in this foundational class including wheel-throwing skills and hand-building techniques. All levels welcome, as you will be able to choose your own or instructor inspired creations.

To start, we'll work on wheel-throwing, focusing on focus wedging clay, centering, forming vessels, and glazing before diving into hand-building. More advanced students will continue to expand their skills in throwing, hand-building and glazing techniques.
