Darting and Altering, April 4th and 5th, 12pm - 3pm

This is a class for intermediate and advanced wheel throwers

Dive into the transformative art of altering ceramics! Altering your ceramics is a way to really get comfortable with imperfection. Taking something so symmetrical and round and cutting into it, altering allows you to stop being so cautious and helps push yourself into curiosity and exploration.

In this two day workshop, students will explore design, throwing and alter pieces that provoke thought, invite touch, and challenge expectations. Students will throw multiple forms with different curves and shapes and learn altering techniques to create shapes you can't achieve on the wheel!

• Day 1 (3 hours): Throwing & Shaping Foundations 12pm - 3pm
  
• Day 2 (3 hours): Alteration & Embellishments 12pm - 3pm

The pottery wheel will be used in this workshop. The materials will be provided on-site. All firing services are included in cost, and an instructor will glaze your pieces for you.

Skill Level: Intermediate to advanced. 
Students should feel confident centering 3lbs and throwing a cylinder.
