This workshop will focus on basic skill building for wheel thrown pottery.  It is intended for the novice or those who have found the successful experience of wheel throwing elusive. We will begin by discussing what makes up the clay we use and how to prepare it. We will learn how to use our hands to center, pull up the clay, and shape basic cylindrical forms. Some basic handbuilding techniques will also be included, as time allows. Due to time constraints, our emphasis will be on skill building; no firing will take place. Exclusive for beginners.

Frank Pitcher (he/him) is a studio craftsperson seeking adventure with every turn of the wheel.
