Your 6-Week Clay Journey:

Over six weeks, you will elevate your throwing practice by layering advanced technical skills each session. We focus entirely on intentional design and mastering complex forms:

• Refining Form & Scale (Weeks 1–2): Jump right back onto the wheel to analyze your current technique. We focus on gaining height, throwing with intention, altering forms, and perfecting advanced trimming and foot-refining methods.

• Complex Profiles & Attachments (Weeks 3–4): Expand your collection. We dive into throwing multi-part pieces (like lidded vessels), matching sets, and mastering advanced handle dynamics and structural attachments to make your work look incredibly polished.

• Advanced Surface Design & Glazing (Weeks 5–6): Focus turns to intricate surface manipulation, carving, and preparing your advanced collection for the bisque kiln. The course concludes with an immersive glazing session, unlocking creative combination techniques and our studio's specialty color palettes.

What’s Included:

• Your Own Dedicated Wheel: Small class sizes mean plenty of direct guidance.

• Premium Materials: All clay, tools, and a variety of studio glazes are included.

• Professional Kiln Firings: We bisque and glaze fire all of your creations.
