The goal of the Step-UpThrowing Skills class is to improve students' ability to make pottery on the wheel faster, larger and with more consistency. Students will be introduced to a number of tools and techniques used by production potters and in large scale production factories. Students will be able to keep some pieces from the class, but the focus will be on improving ability through throwing exercises, like repeatedly throwing identical forms then dissecting them. The goal is not to make students into production potters, but to help students who are looking to step up their throwing skills to the next level by teaching them a methodical approach to throwing.
