Weeklong Workshop: Pottery Boot Camp with Audry Deal-McEver on July 19-24
This beginner to advanced level workshop teaches students the technical skills needed to work on the pottery wheel. Beginners will learn the introductory basics needed to create cups, mugs, bowls, vases, and more. Advanced students will get individual guidance to help reinforce their foundational knowledge and will be guided through more advanced techniques (such as “thrown and altered” shapes and composite/assembled forms). Class time will include demonstrations, guided practice time, and one-on-one help. Note: Due to time constraints, students will take home a range of finished pots and “works in progress.”
