Description
Revisit, or learn, the fundamentals of throwing on the potter’s wheel with Lindsey Howarth!
This class is perfect for those who would like to refresh their wheel throwing and for beginners with little to no wheel throwing experience. Students will learn the basics of centering, pulling up walls, shaping, and trimming simple forms such as cylinders, mugs, and bowls. Lindsey will start each class with a demonstration, students will then receive hands-on instruction while they practice and explore on their own. The first 5 classes will focus on throwing and trimming and students will glaze all of their pieces on the last day of class.
