Wheel II: 4 Weeks
Taken a class or two and ready to take the next step? If you’ve learned to center on the wheel, our Wheel 2 six-week class is thoughtfully designed to guide you through a wide range of throwing skills and creative processes essential to advancing your wheel throwing journey. Throughout the course, we will focus on techniques to gain height, achieve balance, control wall and foot thickness, improve tool proficiency, and begin to explore the more intricate relationships between form and function.
If you’ve taken Wheel 2 a few times and can comfortably trim your pieces, it’s time to level up. Join us in the Intermediate section of wheel throwing, where you will learn to create more complex forms, work with multi-part pieces, and develop sets that showcase your growing expertise.

Upper Level Wheel Throwing: 4 Weeks
In these upper level classes, you’ll build upon the foundational skills you learned in both Wheel 1 and Wheel 2 courses. It is not uncommon for some students to repeat the Wheel 2 course about 2 to 3 times before confidently progressing to upper level clay classes, depending on their individual skill and comfort levels. Throughout these courses, you will further refine your throwing techniques, surface techniques, and basic handbuilding skills for attachments. Expand your pottery-making abilities while creating dynamic, innovative forms. We recommend taking at least one Intermediate course before moving on to Advanced Topics.

SUNDAY MORNINGS with Eric
Experiment with different ways to apply slip, then learn to draw and paint with underglazes using a variety of brush techniques. Explore line, color, layering, and mark making, and look at how illustrations can work with the shape of a pot. Develop their own ideas, from simple patterns to animals, plants, and other subjects. No drawing or painting experience is necessary, but students should have some experience with wheel throwing or handbuilding and be comfortable making basic forms.
