What the class will cover:

Beginning Wheel (4 week Fun Fridays)
BOYB summer Fridays! This class is all about getting a feel for the potter’s wheel in a fun and chill atmosphere. Throwing on the wheel is harder than you think (!) so it’s nice to practice with a cold one at your workspace. Each week will have a technical demonstration and hands-on help. Our projects include: cylinders (AKA wine cups and pint glasses), bowls, trimming and glazing. This class is perfect for students who have zero pottery experience, as well as students who have a feel for clay and want to practice and hone throwing fundamentals.

~ This class is aimed to support those with little or no clay knowledge. Instructor will demonstrate a technique for the first part of class, then its your time to practice! Your instructor will come around to offer personalized feedback to each student based on their skills and goals for the day. It is common to repeat beginner wheel more than once or twice – until you are ready to try making forms other than mugs, bowls and plates.

Intermediate beginners may take this class, intermediate project accommodations may be suggested to those interested in more of a challenge.

~Syllabus & techniques may vary slightly by instructor, don’t worry you will get all the important info regardless!
