Refining Wheel Thrown Forms
Adult Course | Registration opens 8/6/2025 10:00 AM MDT
This course explores unique artistic style through a variety of wheel throwing techniques. Students will develop skills in diverse ceramic processes to support personal ongoing development of their ceramic craft. This course is intended as an independent study for ongoing students. Demonstrations, individual assistance, and art conversations will be available. In addition to developing and building on throwing skills, this class is all about community and having a space to enjoy ourselves and the art we create. Basic skills can be refined in this class but confidence with centering is preferred.
