Independent Study: Wheel Throwing

In this 8 week session, students are encouraged to dig deep into their tool kits to embark on a long term project. Whether it's a set of plates, mugs, or something completely out of your wheel house, all projects are welcomed. With Alexis' guidance you'll finish the session with a newfound skill to carry on into your clay journey. This session is best for intermediate or advanced throwers who are comfortable throwing independently.

Classes are limited to 8 participants. Students should be proficient in throwing vessels on the wheel without instruction, and should have taken a beginners class at least 3 times previously. All students enrolled in a multi-week class are allotted up to 6 hours of unguided Open Studio time weekly to practice outside of class.

Tools are not included in multi-week classes; bring your own or purchase a kit from the studio! There must be 6 students registered to confirm.
