Service Description
Join us in expanding your mug making skills this winter season in this special drinking vessel and handle-making focused course! Students will explore a variety of drinking vessel forms and have the opportunity to examine a variety of handmade mugs from Wooten's personal collection to study. Students will learn a variety of handle-making techniques such as pulling handles on and off the pot as well as slab-built handle methods. To get the most out of this class students should have the ability to create a cylindrical form on or off the wheel. Instructional aid will be provided for complete beginners, however the primary class will focus on exploring forms and handle-making techniques. Due to the abbreviated class length, this course will focus primarily on making work. Pieces made may be glazed independently through the month of December. Ages 12+ To Bring: Notebook/sketchbook and writing utensil. Laptop or smart device for research. Old clothes or attire you don’t mind getting a little dirty. Your favorite pottery tools. Tool kits will be available for purchase on the first day of class for $15. If students would prefer to bring in tools for class on their own, the following will be required for this class: a metal rib, wooden rib, needle tool, wire tool, sponge, wooden knife, fettling knife, and trimming tools. Additional Costs: Glazing and firing fee: $20 One bag of clay is included in the class cost. Additional clay can be purchased from Wooten Clayworks if desired.
