Day 1 (June 27th from 6pm-9pm)
We will do an introduction to the process and a demonstration of how to use a pottery wheel.
You will have the opportunity to practice and receive help on how to:
- centering and opening the clay
- raising the walls to be able to make cylinders and small bowls
- finishing the form in preparation for trimming.
* For more advanced students, we will help you to increase the difficulty by increasing the weight of the clay and making more complex shapes.
Day 2 (June 28th from 10:30am-1:30pm)
On the second day, we will start with an explanation and demonstration of the turning of the forms.
You will have the opportunity to practice and receive help on how to turn your pieces from the previous day.
- An introduction on how to decorate your pieces with engobes or underglazes (different types of colors that can be applied to unfired clay).
After the workshop, your pieces will go through two firings and will be ready for pick up in 2-3 weeks. We will send you an email to pick them up when they are ready :)
