Ready to take your wheel throwing skills beyond the basics? 🏺

This 6-Week Intermediate Pottery Series is designed for potters who are already comfortable centering clay and throwing basic cylinders and bowls and are ready to challenge themselves with more complex forms.

Over six weeks, we’ll work on refining technique, improving precision, and thinking more intentionally about form and surface design. Each project will be demonstrated and you’ll be guided through the process, while still giving you room to experiment and develop your own style.

Projects may include:
• Mugs
• Goblets
• Bird Feeders
• Pie Plates
• Berry Bowls

If you’ve been wanting to push your throwing skills a little further, this is the class for you.
