Level 2 - HYBRID Wheel Throwing & Hand Building

Prerequisites:  Level 1- Wheel Throwing Foundations, or, previous experience with clay.  It is expected that students understand how to wedge clay, and to center clay on the wheel, although they may not be proficient yet.  Students should have some ability to pull a wall up.  Students with no prior clay experience may struggle in this class.  Prior hand building experience is not required.

DESCRIPTION:
This class is where the potter will explore different throwing and altering techniques.  With a focus on personal expression in ceramic creation, students will engage in projects combining hand-building and wheel-throwing methods.  You will learn to roll slabs and coils to integrate into your work, which will lead you to develop versatility and problem-solving skills.  If you are looking to take your creativity a step further, this is the class for you!

Class fee includes one bag of clay (M340 or M340S), all firings and studio dipping glazes, as well as access to our classroom tools.  Additional clay is available for purchase from your instructor if you need more.  Additional practice time is also available (see below).

Classes are three hours in length and run for six weeks.  Total class time is 18 hours. 

PRACTICE TIME:
Students will have 24/7 access to the studio.  Students will be able to use the classroom wheels when a class is not in session.  Please refer to the Classroom Calendar for further information.  Students will need to provide their own tools if practicing outside of class time.

MAKE UP CLASSES:
We are unable to offer make-up classes.  You may use the practice time to catch up on what you may have missed during your class.
