This class is designed for people who have previous experience on the pottery wheel and would like to take their pottery to the next level.
Jessica LaBonte, owner of Cedar Tree Pottery, will start by reviewing the cylinder and bowl form, then we will refine our techniques by paying attention to weight, functionality, and consistency. More advanced forms and techniques will be covered upon student's interests. We will also discuss more advance techniques of glazing, color mixing, and dipping.
Only 10 spots available!
Each student will each receive one 25lb bag of stoneware, mid-fire clay, cone 6, access to all stocked glazes, dipping, and tools to use during class. NOTE: Only studio glazes will be allowed. All clay, glazes, use of the studio, tools, as well as firing costs are included in the fee.
BONUS: Free access to "Open Studio" is on Monday evenings 5pm-8pm starting 9/23-12/16. Wheel usage is on a first come basis.
Wear comfortable clothing, prepared to get messy, and have a whole lotta fun!
