This listing is for the Thursday 6:30-9:30pm class. This class runs for eight consecutive weeks during the Fall term which runs from September 8th until November 2nd 2025.
This course is designed for complete beginners and beginner-ish students. Over the course of 8 weeks, Celia will guide you through the fundamental processes of wheel throwing, trimming, and glazing, with an emphasis on skill-building and creative exploration.
Celia encourages students to embrace the curiosity and playfulness of working with clay. Whether you're drawn to tackling an ambitious project, joining in on a throwing challenge, or just letting the clay guide where a piece takes you.
Class time is a space to tap into your creative side, disconnect from the world, and develop a hands-on skill.
8-Week Course Outline
(Each term shakes out differently based on student interest and goals)
• Week 1: Intros, studio orientation, centering demo, cylinder demo
• Week 2: Basic shaping techniques, practice pulling walls
• Week 3: Trimming demo, continued throwing practice
• Week 4: Bowls vs. plates, tall vs. low vessels
• Week 5: Repeat trimming demo, handle demo, decoration
