***If you are unsure you have the skill set to join this class, please contact the studio manager, j.hamilton3@asld.org***
This class is for the potter wanting to further develop their skills and own style. Techniques and discussions on form, surface, and composition are a regular part of this class. Occasional group projects further challenge students beyond their comfort zone. This course is for students with intermediate to advanced skills in wheel throwing and glazing. Students need proficiency in throwing a wide variety of pottery forms in one or several parts without instruction. A solid understanding of glazes, underglazes, slips and stains is also necessary.
Community tools are available for student use, in exception of a small sponge. If you prefer personal tools, a basic ceramics tool kit, small sponges and large clean up sponges may be available for purchase at ASLD on a first come, first served basis. We welcome you to bring any new, used, found and repurposed tools you may have.
Please bring to class:
-Your favorite tools
-Clean up sponge
Optional
-Apron
-Towel
If you purchase your own tools, we suggest you assemble a basic tool kit that includes:
- Potter's rib (wood and or rubber)
- Metal rib
- Wood modeling tool
- Needle tool
- Trimming tool(s)
- Throwing sponge
