Challenge yourself and learn how to throw bigger, more complex, and more stable forms efficiently. Each class will focus on one category of object or skill which may include: bowls (large and small), vases and long-necked bottles, plates, advanced trimming techniques (including how to carve a proper foot and how to use a chuck to trim bottles), lidded pots, etc. Bring your ideas! This is about learning to make what you really want to make. 

To get the most out of this class, you should feel comfortable with all of the steps and processes you learned in the four week Beginning Wheel course, and can somewhat reliably wedge, center, and throw 2.5-3 lbs of clay. Typically, students take Beginning Wheel twice before taking Continuing Wheel. 

In addition to the weekly class meetings, we have open hours seven days a week for you to come in and work on your own.

SLS's recycled studio clay, glazes, and firing for up to 15 pieces are included in the course fee. Additional clay is available for purchase as well. We strongly encourage students to come to class with their own basic toolkit and four 12" bats. 

This class will be held at our Arts District studio at 588 Mateo St.
