Intermediate pottery wheel classes will continue to build on skills you’ve learned in beginner’s pottery wheel classes. Exploring specific topics/projects will help to take your pottery wheel skills to the next level. These pottery wheel classes are for students who have taken at least one month long beginner’s pottery wheel class with us, or have the ability to confidently center 2lbs of clay and create even 6 inch tall cylinders. If you have never taken classes with EPIC please email us before enrolling so that we can confirm this is the right class for you.

Topics for February and March:

February: 2/21 and 2/28 5:30-7:30pm

Throwing and trimming jars and lids. You will throw about 3-5 different lidded vessels in week one, and trim them in week two. Come to an open studio to glaze your class work at no additional open studio fee.
