Elevate your wheel-throwing skills in just one week with Building from Basics. In this course students will be guided, through focused drill and repetition, to build their skills on the wheel, such as throwing rounder, thinner, taller and wider.  We’ll begin with cylinder exercises and steadily advance to more complex shapes, incorporating handles and additional elements along the way. By week’s end, you’ll have stronger technique, increased confidence, and improved skills that will continue to strengthen your pottery practice. This course is intended for intermediate students ready to push their skills further.
