Beginners will be introduced to the fundamental techniques of working with clay, including proper wedging, centering, and forming basic shapes on the wheel. Step-by-step instruction and demonstrations will help build confidence while developing a strong technical foundation. Students who already have experience on the wheel will have the opportunity to strengthen and refine their throwing and handbuilding skills. Emphasis will be placed on improving form, consistency, and craftsmanship while exploring both functional and more complex shapes. In addition to forming techniques, a variety of surface decoration methods and glazing approaches will be introduced. Instruction will be tailored to each student’s individual skill level, allowing beginners to grasp essential concepts while more experienced students expand their creative range and technical abilities.
