Throwing Drills & Efficency - 5 Week - Evenings

Wednesday July 16 - August 20 (No class August 13)
6:00 - 9:00pm

Join throwing expert Ed Vanderbaaren to hone your throwing skills and take them up a notch! You might not bring home a pot, but we guarantee you you will become a better potter.

This weekly course will dive into 5 weeks of intense pottery drills on the wheel, for the purpose of practice, precision and learning. Ed will teach you:

  • How to gain height when pulling up (Taking cross-section cuts of your pots to gain insight)
  • Maximize and stretch small amounts of clay to the limit
  • Master pulled handles
  • Make pots that don’t need to be trimmed
  • ... and much much more!
Additional material cost is $50 for clay.

Firings are not included, unless a member of the CSC or an ongoing KCP student.
