Cost: FREE!
Start your Sunday morning with great coffee, delicious breakfast treats, and essential tips for ceramic longevity!
Throwing at the wheel is a deeply rewarding art, but repetitive movements and improper posture can quickly take a toll on your back, wrists, and shoulders. Join us for this interactive 90min session led by Sejal Kinker—an occupational therapist and avid potter who understands the physical demands of clay work firsthand.
In this workshop, you’ll learn:
•Key ergonomic principles specifically tailored for wheel throwing
•How to position your body to prevent pain and strain
•Easy stretches and warm-ups to incorporate into your studio routine
•Simple adjustments you can make to your setup to throw comfortably for years to come
Enjoy a warm cup of coffee and breakfast snacks while connecting with fellow makers, trying out live ergonomic positioning techniques at the wheel, and getting your specific posture questions answered.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned potter, learn how to protect your body so you can keep creating for a lifetime!
