Ideal for students with previous wheel throwing experience (you are expected to know how to Center & Pull your clay) or who have taken our Wheel Throwing for Beginners workshop, this Intermediate workshop is for students ready to move on to more complicated forms and have the desire to perfect their sense of craftsmanship. There will be a focus on a wide range of methods and technical skills used to create more complex and advanced functional forms such as Bowls, Plates, and Mugs. You will learn to recognize flaws in construction and will master techniques to not only fix them but ultimately avoid them in the future. Finally, you will learn how to incorporate unique, decorative elements into your work such as handles and other surface and body alterations.
