Next Step Wheel Throwing

This class is designed to build on students’ knowledge of wheel-thrown ceramics. Ben will demonstrate more advanced forms like bowls, mugs, and plates. The class will further explore the ceramic process by discussing the chemistry of clay and glaze. Students will be introduced to some surface design techniques, including painting and drawing with underglaze colors. Prerequisite: foundational knowledge of wheel throwing, including centering, trimming and pulling cylinder forms on the wheel without assistance.
