Prerequisite: Participants must have taken Beginner and Intermediate Pottery Wheel classes in advance of this class -OR- have significant pottery wheel experience prior to registering for this class.  In this advanced pottery wheel course\, students will engage in independent special projects. You are encouraged to pursue your personal interests or develop and refine your pieces. As experienced students\, you will continue to enhance your skills through individualized instruction\, group demonstrations\, and collaboration with fellow students. A solid understanding of throwing on the pottery wheel is expected. The specific clay and glazes utilized will be determined by the instructor. Working with clay is an art form that transcends age\, connecting us to a realm of possibilities and self-discovery. When I inquire with my students\, young and old alike\, about their passion for working with clay\, their responses echo the universal charm of this ancient medium. It is gooey and malleable\, possessing the remarkable ability to take on any shape.
