Every potter has an idea of what they want to make. How to make it is often the question.
During our busy days in the Paloma Studios, we will make work at the wheel that challenges our skills and pushes our envelope about the functional pot and the details that make them attractive and comfortable to use…

• The drinking vessel: cups, mugs, and their handles.

• Making great fitting lids and the forms they sit on, from small to large.

• Throwing large and practicing the skills involved starting with three pounds of clay… and working our way up to assembling multi-piece pots…

• and the bottle form; some smaller with spouts… some for flowers.

On day one of the workshop, we will discuss as a group, additional projects to add to the list – projects YOU find challenging. The goal is to take your clay working skills
to the next level - or more - and I’ll work with you to make that happen.
I will demo at the wheel at the beginning of each morning and afternoon session establishing the projects to be practiced. It’s a skill-building process… one session will work on building on those prior.
This is a course for potters with intermediate/advanced skills. It is not designed for beginner-level students. Students should be able to competently center and throw a 2-lb. cylinder.
Bring your favorite wheel tools, apron, and a notebook/sketchbook, plus one
small piece of pottery you’ve recently made to the workshop.
