Private Lessons
What’s the difference between lessons and workshops?
Lessons are regularly scheduled while a workshop is a one time event. I teach a syllabus that is dedicated to learning techniques that will give you a good foundation in pottery. In a workshop we work on one specific technique/project from start to finish in one block of time.
All lessons are private, so it’s one on one. When students are taught this way, they learn more quickly because the teacher’s attention is solely on the one student.
*Students must wear a mask if they work closely with the public, or schools, or if they have been exposed to someone who is/was sick. N95 masks double as a dust mask.
What type of classes are offered?
We begin with hand building, and then I will introduce you to the potter’s wheel. You will also receive lessons in decorating and glazing your pieces.
Hand building techniques to begin your journey in pottery are essential to a well rounded clay education. Hand built forms include creating pottery using pinch pots, slabs and coils.
Your introduction to the wheel begins with cylinders and then bowls. You will learn how to throw these forms first and you will also learn how to trim a foot ring for these pieces.
