Intermediate Pottery Experience: Throwing BIG!

In this edition of I.P.E. participants will focus on throwing bigger pieces of pottery. Further develop technical skills through teacher directed practice. Learning to handle more clay on the wheel, participants try making large serving bowls, substantial planter pots with trays, tall cylinders for vase forms/utensil holders, and giant mugs/bowls with handles for soups. Learn ways to add visual interest with surface decoration, too. Students learn to glaze with one color and one dip using the M.P.V.A. catalog of glazes. Again, the focus is on learning and practicing strong pottery skills. Students will save the best of their work to keep coming away with 4-6 pieces total.

Required skills for this mini course include being able to consistently center clay and pull 4” cylinders. Students will not be taught how to center. Most students need to take several sessions of beginning pottery before they are ready to try more complex forms. Please consider carefully!

Tools and clay are provided. Intermediate students may wish to purchase a set of basic pottery tools for your newfound hobby! $70
