Techniques for Wheel Throwing

New and experienced students will focus on making pottery on the wheel. Start by using methods of wedging, centering, hand and finger positioning for raising a vessel, and positioning one’s body for dealing with a mass of clay on the wheel. Demonstrations will cover the importance of trimming techniques and various forming processes. Wear clothes that can get dirty.
