At this point you have some understanding of how to transform a lump of clay into a vessel on the wheel. In this class we will revisit the basics and discuss each step in finer detail to develop a deeper understanding of wheel throwing and focus on refining your desired form. The first half of the class will be driven by various prompts to help you explore the material and build up towards a final project of your choice.
This is a Next-Level class. Prior experience in clay is highly recommended. The more you are aware of what we need to troubleshoot...the better!
