DESCRIPTION

Clay 1 is a prerequisite. The ability to centre a pot and consistently throw a cylinder with intention is MANDATORY.

Clay 2 is a continuation of the Clay 1 introductory course where techniques will be expanded on.

Participants will be learning how to increase the size of their work while maintaining control of the clay. Bowl forms will be introduced. Techniques for refining and finishing vessels will help to increase the success rate of throwing. Trimming and glazing will be reintroduced and reinforced. Additions like handles will be included in level 2.

As part of the course, 5 pieces will be saved and fired. Additional pieces may be kept at a cost of $10/ piece.
