Master centring!

Day 2: Throwing on the wheel
Making larger pots!
In the second class, students will use larger balls of clay to create bigger pieces. Focus will be on throwing larger bowls and mugs.

Trim your jars!
In week five students will use their trimming skills to trim their lids and jars. They will also learn how to assemble and attach knobs to their wheel thrown lids.
