Introduction to Wheel Throwing
During this course we will be focusing on making ceramic objects using the potters wheel. We will begin with a cylinder, then move to a bowl form and depending on the level of the students we may move onto more complicated forms. Within this course students will learn how to mix clay, prepare clay for use, throw on the potters-wheel, glaze the work and much more.

Introduction to Hand Building
This course will focus on creating hand-built ceramics. We will focus on learning a variety of techniques, which include coil, slab and pinch. This class will be a combination of vessel and sculptural object making. Within this course students will learn how to mix clay, prepare clay for use, make a structurally sound clay object, glaze the work and much more.
