This class is ideal for students who have taken Welcome to Pottery, Welcome Back to Pottery, or both. Students in this class will strengthen basic techniques and learn new ones as they begin with handbuilding projects and progress to the wheel. Beginners are welcomed in this class, which will include both sculptural and functional objects. More advanced students will hone their clay skills, while everyone will learn to develop their ideas from sketches to three-dimensional realization. This class may be repeated, since new projects are designed for each term.
