From the basic cylinder, we will create a multitude of different shapes and sizes, and
concentrate on functional wares which will include techniques, shape, and design.
Demonstrations will cover wedging, centering, and forming shapes such as vases,
mugs, bowls and plates. As students’ progress, basic decorating and glazing
techniques will be taught as well as more advanced techniques such as attaching
multiple parts to one object, throwing lids, and surface decoration.
Prerequisite: Student must be able to throw a cylinder and be proficient in basic
ceramic skills before taking this class.
