Wheel Throwing and Sculpture Classes
Instructor: Ann Margaret Russ
Date: Mondays, April 16 - May 21
Time: 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Skill Level: All
The pottery classes are a mix of beginners to more experienced adult students, which encourages a cooperative learning environment. Classes are adjusted to your learning needs. If you are a beginner, you can learn at your own pace. You’ll get an introduction to making pottery on the wheel and focused instructor attention.. If you have more experience, we can build on what you already know and give you options for your learning choices.
In order to give individual instruction, we limit the number of new students in each class. Beginner pottery students typically spend the first couple of weeks working on the basic skills of centering, coning up and down, and pulling up the walls of a bowl. They will also be introduced to some hand-building projects, which includes learning how to use the slab roller. Trimming your pottery is usually the focus by about the 3rd or 4th week of the session. By week 5 or 6 you’ll learn how to glaze your own pots!
Please wear appropriate clothing (it’s messy), trim your fingernails, tie back long hair and remove rings, bracelets and watches.
There are physical aspects to pottery. Students must be able to lift and carry a 25-lb. bag of clay.
