Create challenging functional, decorative, and sculptural forms using the pottery wheel. Develop various throwing techniques introduced from previous beginning-level throwing classes.

Students are required to follow the instructor’s curriculum. Only work produced from that curriculum will be fired.

No makeup classes will be made available in the case of illness or inclement weather.
