What You Will Learn?
- This is an introductory course covering the basic fundamentals of throwing clay on the potters wheel. First discussing the three most important concepts to keep in mind when throwing, then moving on to preparing our clay, centering, throwing, and basic trimming. I'll be demonstrating with two pounds of clay, which I recommend to beginners as it is a very manageable amount, not too much and not too little. With this two pounds I will throw a very simple cylinder, pointing out important steps along the way, and showing my method for moving clay on the wheel. This class is designed for beginners, but is good for anyone looking for a refresher or just some new ideas on wheel work..
- And please feel free to leave any questions in the reviews I'll get to them pretty quickly!.
