Ceramics Wheel 101 — 6-Week Course
November Intro to Ceramics Class
Details
In this beginner class, students will cover preparing and working with clay, basic wheel throwing, trimming, glazing and basic surface decoration. You'll also learn how to make and attach handles. This foundational skills class will provide time for students to explore creating functional and sculptural pieces using a pottery wheel. This class is perfect for those with little to no clay experience, or those looking for a hands-on refresher with a knowledgable instructor who can meet you where you are in your ceramics journey. Each student will leave with an understanding of the throwing, trimming and glazing processes. There will be an emphasis on the holistic ceramics process and safety throughout, ensuring that students are ready to grow their practice on their own once the class ends. Students will learn: - Basic ceramics processes & studio safety - Portioning and wedging clay - Wheel throwing basics: centering pulling walls, trimming - Proper storage of WIPs - How to reclaim clay - Trimming thrown pieces - Pulling & attaching handles - Surface design techniques, such as sgraffito, underglaze, appliques, and stamping - Brush on and dip glazing Class Dates & Time: Sundays Nov 8, 15, 22, Dec 6, 13, 20 9 AM - NOON Location: Ceramics Wheel Throwing Room @ Coco-op 1155 W.
