..WHEEL THROWING & HAND BUILDING

Instructor: Jon Puzzuoli, Patty Storms, Morty Bachar

Learn the art of making pottery and create decorative and functional pottery in a spacious studio. This class is designed for the beginner and for those who have taken beginning pottery classes in the past, and will cover the basic and intermediate level wheel-thrown pottery, sculpturing and glazing. We'll give you the basic skills and knowledge so you are ready, if you choose, to become an open studio member. Typically, students take this class more than once before they are comfortable moving on to the next level.

The goal this of class is to give adults an introduction to the art of pottery and the ability to create functional pottery. We want you to learn what it takes to throw a pot, but it's just as important to us that you have a good experience. We service all surrounding towns (Stamford, Darien, New Canaan, Greenwich, Westport, Cos Cob and Norwalk, Fairfield, Pound Ridge NY).

The projects are fun and creative and will be taught by our accomplished artist / teachers. No prior ceramics experience is required.

INTERMEDIATE / ADVANCED WHEEL THROWING Calendar

Instructor: Morty Bachar, Jon Puzzuoli

For those who have mastered wheel-throwing basic skills such as centering, pulling and trimming, we've designed a course that takes you to the next level. This class provides demonstrations and instruction on more complex forms (e.g., altered forms, surface texture, multiple parts, large vessels and other ideas) coupled with constructive evaluation of your work.

The instructors will demonstrate and assign class projects, such as bowls, covered jars, pitchers, or vases; advanced students will be encouraged to work independently. Students will be encouraged to mix glaze tests and incorporate the results into their pottery.
