Wheel Throwing with Soda and Raku
Raku is an exciting firing process that creates surprising and beautiful effects on pottery using reduction and carbon trapping. Learn the basics of wheel throwing and participate in in-class raku firings of your pieces and embrace the unpredictability of ceramics. With pieces that don’t make it into the raku kiln, experiment with the effects of soda firing. Some prior experience in wheel throwing is required.

Consistency with Clay
Work on refining your wheel throwing skills to be able to replicate your successful pots! Practice good throwing techniques with the same amount of clay to produce a set of mugs, bowls, or plates that are well-made and match each other in size and style. Take on the class challenge or get feedback on your current projects. Previous wheel experience is highly encouraged, but not required.

Wheel Throwing and Beyond
Beginners will be introduced to basic shapes such as cylinders, cups, and bowls. Experienced potters will expand skills and explore forms such as lidded jars and large objects. Make unusual shapes by cutting, stacking, and altering pieces to create oval dishes, citrus juicers, and more. Experiment with different decoration techniques like sgraffito, underglazes, and soda firing. Some clay experience is recommended but not required.

Wheel Throwing: Beyond the Basics
If you’ve had a full class and are looking to refine your skills and try more advanced techniques, Beyond the Basics is a great bridge into furthering your knowledge about ceramics. We’ll take deep dives into glazing, hone in on the skills you need, and experiment with techniques like throwing off the hump, pulling handles, and throwing larger pots.

Teaching is something I love to do and sometimes we just need a little more one-on-one help to take our throwing to the next level. Or maybe you inherited an old pottery wheel and are trying to figure out what to do with it. Either way, I’m here to help!
Inquiries about small, private parties are also welcome.
