About this experience6 weekly sessions

Ready to move beyond the fundamentals? This six-week course is designed for potters who are comfortable on the wheel and ready to build confidence, improve consistency, and create work with greater intention.

Working in a relaxed, supportive studio environment, you’ll receive personalized instruction as you refine your throwing, explore more complex forms, and discover new ways to add personality and craftsmanship to your pottery. Whether you’re inspired by an idea you’ve saved for months or simply want to strengthen your technique, this class offers the time and guidance to help you grow.

Throughout the course, you’ll explore:

Throwing with greater confidence and control
Refining forms through thoughtful trimming and finishing
Designing pottery with purpose, function, and personal style
Underglazes and decorative surface techniques
Sgraffito, inlay, slip trailing, and other methods of surface design
Individualized projects based on your interests and goals

Rather than focusing on making more pottery, we’ll focus on making better pottery—pieces that reflect your growing skills, creativity, and attention to detail.

By the end of six weeks, you’ll leave with a collection of thoughtfully crafted work, new techniques to continue exploring, and the confidence to push your pottery even further.

Prerequisite: Students should have completed an introductory wheel throwing course or have equivalent experience centering and throwing basic forms.
