INTERMEDIATE WHEEL THROWING: FUNCTIONAL FORMS (8 WEEKS)

Take your wheel throwing skills to the next level in this 8-week intermediate course designed for students who can already center clay and throw a basic cylinder independently.

Students will build confidence and consistency while creating a series of functional pottery forms, including mugs, plates, vases, and large bowls. Each project focuses on refining technique, improving form, and developing greater control on the wheel.

Course projects include:

Week 1–2: Mugs and handle attachment
Week 3–4: Plates and plate trimming
Week 5–6: Collared vases and vase trimming
Week 7–8: Large bowls and bowl trimming

Students will learn:
• Refining cylinder forms
• Handle pulling and attachment
• Throwing wide forms and plates
• Collaring techniques for vases
• Trimming for function and aesthetics
• Creating larger forms with confidence

A glazing session is included in the course fee and will be scheduled outside of regular class time after bisque firing.

Prerequisite: Completion of Beginner Wheel Throwing or equivalent experience. Students should be comfortable centering clay and throwing a basic cylinder independently.
