Expired Intro to Pottery

6 Week Class with Jesse Rasmussen
Wednesdays, January 12–February 16, 2022
2:00–4:30pm
Learn the art of making pottery and creating decorative and functional vessels in a spacious studio.
This class is for the beginner and for those who have taken beginning pottery classes in the past. The course will cover basic and intermediate level workings in clay – mainly focused on wheel-thrown vessels (centering, pulling walls, shaping, and trimming). Topics on cups, mugs, bowls, plates, cylinders, and related shapes will be covered. Each student will create a series of vessels on the wheel. Glaze and firing techniques will also be covered.
Advanced students are welcome and individual instruction will be given on topics such as lids, two-part pots, slip decoration, large vessels, production techniques, and more.
This course includes 23 hours of free open studio time per week for extra practice.
