Local potter Maureen Karlstad of Pierce Hill Pottery will lead students through an in-depth exploration of various wheel-thrown vessels, including mugs and bowls of multiple sizes. Students will focus on refining their technique, achieving desired forms, and throwing consistently with 1-2lb of clay.
In order to take this class, students should be able to center 1lb of clay and throw a 3×5” cylinder.
The class will take place over eight 90-minute sessions throughout October, with throwing on Friday evenings and trimming the following Saturdays, for a total of twelve hours of class time.
October-2/3, 9/10, 16/17, 23/24
Friday Nights 6-7:30pm
Saturday Mornings 10-11:30am
The cost of class includes one 25lb loaf of clay, as well as all firing and glazing during the session. If all pieces are not glazed by the end of this series, we will schedule an additional glazing day for students to complete their work.
Studio Guidelines:
Those under 14 years of age must have a guardian on the property. Guardians may participate in the workshop, but must register separately.
RACK is a working studio space with moving equipment. Participants must wear closed-toed shoes, and long hair must be tied back for your safety.
Please avoid wearing hand lotions and heavy nail polish. They may interfere with the chemistry of our clay and glaze.
Avoid wearing scented clothing or cosmetics — RACK is a fragrance-free space.
If you’re sick, stay home! We can work out a time to make up missed classes.
Accessibility: This class requires the use of moderate upper limb strength and some fine motor skills. Standard use of electric wheels involves operation of a foot pedal, but this may be adapted for those with limited leg mobility. Our bathroom is not yet ADA accessible. If you have questions about accessibility or adaptive use of the space, email us at info@rackviroqua.com
Please let us know if you will have an aide or service animal present. Aides are not considered workshop participants unless they register separately.
Please alert staff if you have a pacemaker or other electronic implanted device, as some of our equipment uses electromagnets.
