Make objects with lids • Learn to make and attach handles or other extra features •. Learn about glazing and practice glazing techniques •. Repeat forms •. Work through your own projects/designs One-on-one sessions provide a faster route to learning how to throw, without the noise and influence of a big class you can go at your own pace to practice and improve your technique. A few notes from Sim: Please bring a towel to keep things tidy. Cut your fingernails beforehand: long nails makes throwing tricky. Wear clothes you don't mind getting covered in clay or, bring an apron! If you have long hair, I recommend tying it up or pinning it back. Tools provided. Beginners kits are available for purchase at the studio if you would like your own tools. Lessons are 1.5 hours long. Everyone will get something different out of a beginners wheel throwing lesson like this as everyone learns at their own pace.
