*** Basic knowledge of working on the potters wheel is strongly recommended***

This course is designed for the intermediate potter with a desire to expand your wheel-thrown pottery techniques and forms. During this class we will combine wheel throwing and slab building techniques to create original functional pottery. Forms will be thrown and altered, and utilize additive and subtractive techniques in order to create a variety of endless shapes.
