Introduction

Throwing Essentials; Mastering Centring, Opening, Pulling up, and Forming will teach you how to be (more) successful on the wheel. For both beginners who are new to throwing and those who are struggling to get consistent results, this intensive is designed to give you the skills you need to begin making the work you desire.

Dates

March 31 - April 6, 2025 (7 days) and September 22 - 26, 2025 (5 days)

Content

We will explore different ways and times to centre clay, a variety of ways of pulling up walls, a wide selection of tools to help with forming and trimming, and how to think about the flow of working with clay. The key to making a transformative leap in your practice is an examination of how your individual body moves and feels most comfortable when interacting with the clay. One-on-one mentoring provides the most feedback and learning. You’ll be amazed at what more you can do after just one week!
