Throwing

For those of you who are curious about wheel throwing, and/or have access to a wheel this is for you. Most of the same principles in my hand building are also applied to wheel throwing in a slightly tweaked way! The wheel is where I started my clay journey and is often that romantic notion most people have in their brains about ceramics. I will demonstrate how I approach throwing, cups/mugs/bowls (sm/lg). I’ll focus on how to build your skills, trimming, scaling up in size, how to work on throwing consistent forms. I will also talk a bit about body mechanics- and how important it is to a throwing(and hand building) practice. Gotta keep our bodies working!

As with all my lessons the goal is to add skills to your making tool box and to also challenge your brain with idea and concepts to think about while making in the realm of functional objects.
