Throughout the course, you’ll learn the essential techniques of wheel throwing, from centering clay to shaping and trimming your pieces. We’ll guide you through the entire ceramic process, starting with the basics and progressing to glazing.  In addition to hands-on learning, you’ll have the chance to experiment with different techniques.
