Wheel Throwing: Putting it All Together
Adult Course | Registration opens 11/5/2025 10:00 AM MDT
Students will learn to throw, trim, decorate, and glaze functional forms on the potters wheel. Students will be guided to "put it all together" from concept to fruition focusing on well thrown and finished work. Emphasis will be on improving techniques in all aspects of ceramic work.
Clay:
Each class includes a materials fee which covers the cost of firing and glazing. In addition to this fee, students will need to purchase clay through the Registration Office at ASLD, which must be done in person. Clay costs are $20 for 25lbs of stoneware, $25 for 25lbs of porcelain. Please only purchase clay from ASLD, unless approved by the studio manager. No low-fire clays may be used at ASLD.
Tools:
Community tools are available for student use, in exception of a small sponge. If you prefer personal tools, a basic ceramics tool kit, small sponges and large clean up sponges are available for purchase at the Registration Office.
Other supplies:
Students are encouraged to wear clothes that can get dirty to ceramics class, including close-toed shoes. We also recommend bringing an apron and a towel.
