Wheel Thrown Pottery Workshop

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

This enjoyable 4-session class will take place in the Verge classroom on Thursday evenings. The goal of this course is to guide beginner potters through the entire process of throwing a small bowl on the wheel. The process has many steps that your instructor will break down into their components. In the first session, you will learn how to center the clay and make at least one bowl. During the second session, the bowls will be trimmed (adding a base), and finally you will learn how to glaze your creations in the third session. You will have plenty of time to practice and staff will fire everything you finish for you to pick up at a later date. No previous experience is necessary. We will provide all the tools and clay you need. This course is geared toward beginners, but is also appropriate for anyone who needs a refresher course to gain confidence on the wheel.

About the teaching artist

Sandy Namoff has been a ceramics enthusiast since she took a ceramics class in college. Most of her experience has been creating functional pieces out of stoneware and she especially loves the rich color pallet of reduction firing produces. Since moving to California from southern Florida 10 years ago, the time she had to devote to ceramics decreased as she completed her PhD in botany. COVID has created time for her to dive back into ceramics at Verge’s Clay Lab. Doing ceramics has helped Sandy get through the pandemic and she wants to share the joy of ceramics with others.
