Throwing Drills & Efficiency - 5 Week - Mornings

Wednesday October 29 - November 26
9:00am - 12:00pm

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.

Previous throwing experience is strongly recommended. Potter's must be prepared to scrap, squish and cut up their pieces in the name of learning!

This weekly course will dive into 5 weeks of 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.

About

Born and raised in Brockville, Ed Vanderbaaren’s artistic journey took an unconventional path that lead him to clay in 1973. In 2011, he established his ceramic studio making production wares and sculptures that focus on the intricate dance of potting and painting, glaze and form.
