-
Throwing
Get a feel for the wheel and learn the basics behind centering clay, opening up your pot to the desired shape, and pulling even walls. This is intended to be a supervised introduction, and does not include open studio visits to Deepwoods Pottery.
-
Trimming
An often overlooked step to making pots on the wheel, this may actually be the most important (and satisfying). Once pots dry up to a leather hard consistency, the bottom shape is refined and a foot ring can be trimmed.
-
Glazing
Perhaps one of the most difficult stages to master! Choose from a variety of 8-10 glazes, and endless combinations in between. Underglazes and clear glaze is also available for artists who want to hand paint designs on their wares.
