In this class you will begin by exploring a variety of forms; whether a bowl, cup, plate or another piece of your choice. This focused exploration will allow you to narrow down your prototypes to one piece you’re most interested in.

Next you will focus on refining your skills to throw multiples of the same piece, creating a cohesive set of 4 to 8. (Ambitious students are welcome to throw multiple sets!)

With multiples, leaning into the details is key. Perfecting rims, feet, handles, and other specific areas are all a means of transforming your pieces into a cohesive and polished body of work. Prototypes from earlier weeks will serve as glaze tests and texture experiments, guiding us towards refinement.

Now that you’re a potter and all your friends constantly ask for dishware, this is the perfect class to hone your craft!
