About this Event
This intermediate course is designed for students who have mastered the basics of throwing and are ready to take their pottery skills to the next level. In Ceramics 201, you will learn how to create pots that incorporate attachments such as handles, knobs, and spouts, transforming simple forms into functional and aesthetically pleasing pieces.
The class will delve into the aesthetics of pottery, with a particular focus on the qualities that make a great drinking vessel. We’ll explore concepts like balance, shape, and how the handle interacts with the overall design. You’ll learn to consider the ergonomics of your creations—ensuring that the handle is comfortable, functional, and able to accommodate fingers without discomfort when holding hot liquids.
Please note that a prerequisite for this course is the ability to throw a basic cylinder, as we will build on these foundational skills to create more complex forms. By the end of the course, you’ll have developed a deeper understanding of how to enhance your pottery with thoughtful design and functional attachments.
This class is an 2 day intensive. Each class is 8 hours long, starting at 9am, for both days. There will be a lunch break included, please bring lunch with you. We have a microwave and a fridge available.
