Wheel Throwing Boot Camp View

Want to take your throwing to the next level? Join us for a hands-on workshop designed to refine your wheel throwing technique. Under the guidance of a professional potter, students will throw pots, cut them in half, & analyze each to identify areas of improvement. The focus is on skill-building, so students will leave with enhanced technique rather than finished pieces. Register for all three days or register for individual days. Open to beginners & people with prior wheel throwing experience. Materials will be provided. Bring a non-refrigerated lunch and a water bottle for breaks. Workshop dates: Friday, March 28th Saturday, March 29 Sunday, March 30. 11a – 4a. $115.
