Week 1 – Throwing
This week focuses on building a strong foundation—you’ll learn to control the clay and develop a steady rhythm, which is essential for wheel throwing. Students will also practice creating cups with consistent sizes and shapes using a throwing gauge.
Week 2 – Throwing + Trimming
Trimming is a crucial step in shaping a pot. How you trim the foot can completely change the look and feel of your piece.
Students will learn how to refine the cup’s shape, trim the foot, and create a lightweight, comfortable design.
Week 3 – Trimming + Hand-building
Finish trimming your cups and choose your four favorite pieces to keep. Then, create a slab-built tray that complements your cup set. You can also attach a handle or hand-built sculpture to make your pieces truly one-of-a-kind. (Extra pieces can be fired for $20 each.)
Note: Between Week 3 and Week 4, there may be a one-week gap for bisque firing. Students may return on a preferred date for the final class once their work has been bisque-fired. (Any schedule update will be announced in advance.)
** Week 4 – Painting / Glazing
Apply brush-on glazes/underglazes to add color and personality to your pieces. This final step makes your work truly unique.
**There may be a one-week gap between Week 3 and Week 4 to allow time for bisque firing. Once the pieces have been bisque-fired, students may return on a preferred date for the final class. Any schedule updates will be announced in advance.
