About the Workshop
Learn advanced topics you always desired to master: large objects, closed forms, off-the-hump etc. Some preliminary experience in wheel throwing required: you’re confident with centering and basic wheel throwing.
In this class, you'll cut all objects to see their section and learn on-the-go.
While the workshop’s aim is to learn and no material and firing of your works is included, You'll also be given the opportunity to keep a piece for firing at extra cost, if you wished.

Makers interested in producing larger, more complex pieces
