Introduction to Clay: 4-Week Class
This four-week introductory clay class is designed for beginners who want to explore both the pottery wheel and hand-buildng techniques. You will experience the thrill of using the wheel and the slow, calm work of building by hand.
Week 1: You will be introduced to the pottery wheel and learn the basics of centering, opening, and pulling clay to create simple forms.
Week 2: Students will trim their wheel-thrown pieces and begin a hand-building project, learning foundational techniques.
Week 3: The focus will be on completing and refining your first hand-built work and creating another one.
Week 4: In the final class, students will learn glazing techniques and apply glazes to their finished pieces.
By the end of the course, participants will have a strong introduction to clay and several finished ceramic pieces.
