Intermediate Wheel Course Description

This pottery course offers students a 6-week intensive workshop for intermediate level wheel throwing with a focus on form and design. Each week you will address new throwing techniques and finishing options. You will discuss aspects and approaches of scale, design, construction, and glazing throughout the process. If you are looking for a skills refresh or just want to expand your ceramics repertoire, this class is for you!

The class will be held at the Clay Studio from 6 - 8:30 pm on Thursdays, running from July 15th through to August 19th.

Included with 6 days of instruction is 25 pounds of studio clay (your choice; excepting porcelain) and 6 Open Studio tickets. If you need a basic pottery toolkit they may be purchased at the Studio for an additional $30.

Please email the Studio manager Chris at chrisneiman@chestertownriverarts.org with any questions.

Thanks so much for your support of RiverArts!
