Next Step Wheel: Pourovers & Mugs - A Set for Slow Mornings

Build a complete pourover set from the group up in this six-week class focused on the vessels that make your morning coffee ritual. We’ll throw the three pieces that work together as a cohesive set: the dripper, the carafe below it, and the mugs you’ll drink from.

Projects will include a pourover dripper (with attention to cone angle, rib thickness, and drainage holes,) a carafe sized to nest beneath it, and a pair of mugs designed to complement the set. Along the way, you’ll develop intermediat skills including throwing to target dimensions, measuring with calipers to insure the dripper locks in on the carafe, pulling and attaching handles that feel good in the hand, and planning for shrinkage so the finished pieces fit together. We’ll discuss how spout pulling, foot trimming, and surface treatment can tie the set together visually while keeping each piece functional for daily use.

This class is ideal for students who are comfortable centering and throwing basic cylinders are are ready to tackle pieces with more technical demands.
