This class will be taught primarily in English. Siempre estamos felices de traducir cualquier parte de los demos a español.
In this beginner class, students will explore both wheelthrowing and handbuilding techniques. We’ll cover the basics of using the potter’s wheel as well as rolling slabs and coil building methods. With a small class size of up to six students, we’ll guide you through altering forms with both additive and subtractive techniques, trimming, experimenting with different surface treatments, and glazing. Ultimately, students will learn how to combine different techniques to make their clay visions come to life. This course is open to all levels, from complete beginner to experienced artist.
Price includes all taxes and everything you’ll need: 25 lbs clay, underglazes, glaze, firings (for the 25 lbs of clay), and use of studio tools. Payment plans are available upon request.
