    Find yourself at the pottery wheel this summer! This course is for individuals with little or no experience with clay. Students will learn the beautiful and challenging nature of the ancient craft of throwing clay. We will l work on technique to create simple, foundational forms like cups and bowls. We’ll learn about form and surface design, and how to express yourself through clay. You will create your own pieces from start to finish, and learn all about the magic of what happens to clay when fired and glazed. Students should bring a towel and sketchbook - wear clothes that can get a little dirt on them and tie long hair back. A $30 studio fee is due during the first class, which will cover the first 25lbs of clay and glazes. Contact Shannon with any questions:chefchanc@gmail.com
