In this six-week class, students will dive into the unique qualities and challenges of working with porcelain on the wheel. Through focused demonstrations and guided practice, you’ll refine your throwing technique, learn how to center and shape thinner walls, and explore the subtleties that make porcelain so distinct.
We’ll experiment with a range of surface treatments, including carving, slip application, and color additions with mason stains, and explore methods for creating textural effects with tools and sodium silicate. Projects will include a series of matching vessels designed to improve consistency and precision, as well as more ambitious forms like delicate, translucent lampshades that push your skills to the next level. We suggest that students have a solid understanding of wheel foundations and the ability to center at least 2 pounds of clay.
The first class will meet on Thursday, November 6th 6-8:30pm and the last class will meet on Thursday, December 18th.
***** There will a break for Thanksgiving November 23rd-30th. Classes will resume December 1st. *****
This class includes:
25 LBS of Porcelain
Firing of your pottery in our electric kilns
Glazes and decorating materials
Use of studio tools and equipment
A storage space to keep your work, personal tools and clay on
Access to Open Studio Hours Saturday and Sunday 12pm-4pm
Students will also be given our “artist phone number” to call in and see if they are able to get extra studio time outside of open studio hours.
6 In-person class sessions that will meet weekly on the day and time of your class. Our classes are kept small to allow students to have more one on one time and step by step instruction from our teachers.
