For students who are interested in beginner-intermediate wheel throwing techniques. Lucy will focus on teaching throwing basics such as centering and shaping work on the wheel for beginners, while also offering more challenging projects for more advanced students. Her lessons emphasize the importance of design for making functional pots. Intermediate students may work on composite pot making such as lids, spouts, handles, and/or matching sets.
With over 12 years of teaching experience, Lucy comes to pottery from a self taught background. Her approach to teaching is fact based and driven by a strong understanding the fundamentals of forms and materials. Her goal is to teach her students to think independently when problem solving an issue with their ceramic practice. Lucy strives to make her classes both enjoyable and challenging for all levels. Each week, Lucy will offer a group demonstration to the class such as throwing forms on the wheel, trimming, glazing, or other surface decoration techniques. Along with weekly demos, Lucy will work one on one with students to help them with their techniques and projects.
Price includes $50 materials fee to cover the cost of clay, glaze and firing services. In order to reduce our studio's environmental impact, all courses include 15 lbs of reclaim clay and one flat rate firing and glaze fee. All other clay bodies are still available for purchase in studio.
Adult students must have their own tools. Starter tool kits can be purchased on the first day of class at the studio for $25/kit (plus tax).
