Topic for February: Bootcamp - Consistency with centering, pulling, and handles.
This month we will spend time working on problem solving and consistency to improve our pottery wheel skills. We will cut things in half. We will make lots of mistakes - and learn from them! We will focus on centering the clay, pulling up the walls, centering pots on the wheel for trimming, making nice handles, and consistency in a series of pieces. You can expect to go through a lot of clay for the purpose of learning and end up with a few pieces to take home at the end of the class.
