Open Studio: Wheel Throwing
12:00pm-3:00pm
$35 each open studio session
Everything included!
Tools, glaze, firings, and 3 lbs of clay will be provided with each purchase.
The WCAC Wheel Throwing Open Studio is an event for everyone to come and try ceramics at our ceramic facilities! Following our mission of bringing art further throughout the community, these events make our studio more accessible and helps allow everyone to be able to experiment in the arts and play with their creative side. It is for anyone who has always wanted to try throwing or someone who wants to branch out into other art forms. The open studio is run by our staff who will help give tips if needed, but people will be encouraged to embrace the messy nature of clay, have fun, try on their own, and experiment to their heart's content!
*SPECIAL DEAL: 5 sessions for $150 (must be purchased in person to receive punch card)

Students of all levels are welcome to join this class. Beginner students will learn to construct sculptural forms, and functional if they wish, with traditional handbuilding techniques. Experienced students will continue to develop their own skills and processes with assistance from the instructor.
In Anna’s personal work, she develops medium to large scaled creatures out of clay with a high level of detail and textures. Her pieces meet the ground in different ways and to create a dynamic piece that plays with weight and space.

This class is an extension of a workshop that Emily has taught with us in the past, in which she took thrown forms and altered and combined them to create a truly dynamic piece in which all levels of the vessel are considered. The workshop experience is not required to attend this class.
Wheel Throwing with Kimberly Grossman
Students will focus on developing nuance and finish their wheel thrown forms. They will gain confidence and hone their skills through each step of the making process as the instructor guides students through both assignments and self-directed projects.
The focus on the class will be on bird houses and feeders, through a combination of wheel thrown forms and hand building. The finished pieces will be both functional and decorative.
