***Students should have basic knowledge of working on a potters wheel***

Let’s focus on you. In this class we will be creating personalized dishware for your favorite meals. This is a wheel throwing course where you can create tailored cups and bowls to fit your personal lifestyle. Focusing on creating sets, students will have the opportunity to add personal alterations and craft the perfect size, shape, and feel for their wheel thrown pieces. Building on previous knowledge students will explore surface design though slip, underglaze, and other alterations. Projects will include: Unique handles Cup shape and size Various Surface design Personalized bowls
