Pottery Wheel throwing class - Wednesday Night

This class runs every Wednesday night from 7-9pm from April 30th until June 18th. 

Clay is such an exciting and creative medium to work with and adding color makes it so much more interesting!  In this class you will learn the fundamentals of mixing and preparing your own colored clay and then how to throw it on the wheel for really beautiful effects.  Some traditional methods include nerikomi, neriage, agateware, scroddleware, and nemadji.  This class is a really fun opportunity to not only explore color in clay but also to experience paper clay repair and luster (akin to kintsugi) all in one course.
