Advanced Wheel (Sunset)

The advanced wheel is for students and members who have already taken both wheel 1 and 2, and are looking for some guidance on making things that are beyond cylinders and bowls. What the class will cover depends on you, as the student, as the demos will be selected by the students in the class at the start of each month. Because of this, Advanced Wheel will be different month to month. Some possible subjects will be: throwing off the hump, jars, lids, combined forms, plates, closed forms, and more.

You must be 18 or over to sign up for the class. 14 and over are allowed with an accompanying adult member or student.

Clay is NOT included and must be purchased separately. Non-members must take their clay home. We are not responsible for tools or clay left in the studio by students.

Note:

• Please arrive about 10 to 15 minutes early.
• Wear casual and comfortable clothes and shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty. Luckily the clay that we use comes out of fabric with a regular wash, but there are glazes and other materials that may not be as forgiving.
• If you have an apron please bring it in along with a towel.
• Trim your fingernails. Long fingernails makes throwing on the wheel and shaping clay much more difficult. We want you to be able to work with ease and get the most out of class.
• Remove your jewelry. Rings, watches and bracelets will only get in the way when working with clay, so it’s best to leave them at home.
• If you have long hair, bring an elastic or hair tie to wear it up. This is crucial to avoid accidents on the wheel.
