Beginning Wheel 2: Clay Workshop with Sara Ballek

Event Description

If you have taken a wheel class before and are looking to expand on your skillset, this is the perfect workshop style camp for you! In this 3-day workshop for seasoned adult beginners, you’ll get hands-on instruction and individual practice time at the wheel, with experienced potter Sara Ballek. Through group demos and individualized support, Sara will be there to guide you and answer questions along the way. Throughout the week, you will brush up on the basics of wheel throwing and dive into some new and exciting forms that go beyond the cylinder or bowls shapes you learned during your first class. We will expand upon those simple, utilitarian forms and take things to the next level. From a ball of clay to completion, students will create functional, food safe, pottery that can be used at home. You will learn how to make more complex cups, bowls, plates, handled forms, and even dip into some surface design work!
