What You Will Learn?

  • In this class we'll be talking about and demonstrating throwing a three pound bottle on the wheel. This includes wedging, centering, throwing, and shaping a bottle; while getting familiar with the skills needed to do each. This class is intended to give you a teachers perspective on what to keep in mind when throwing, and my methods of throwing clay on the wheel to get the forms you want, when you want. Some experience with throwing is great but shouldn't stop you from trying even if you're new to it. .
