This 6 week session runs weekly on Thursday evenings. This class is only open to Intermediate students. If you have taken at least two multi-week wheelthrowing courses, we consider you an intermediate student! In this class, Lauren will help you hone your skills, learn more autonomy in your studio practice, and refine your forms, attachments, and techniques. Possible goals include - throwing bigger, narrow-necked vessels, surface decoration, etc.

Included:

• Materials: Each student will receive one 25-lb bag of clay with their class registration, Lauren will support you in recycling the clay yourself, and you may purchase additional clay as needed.

• Glazes & kiln firing

Pickup Info:
Finished work will be ready approximately 4 weeks after class. Lauren will contact via email you when it’s ready. Please note: pieces must be picked up within 4 weeks of that email. Unclaimed work will be donated to Byrdie’s Free Pottery Box.
