This course will cover all the basics of learning to work with clay, including pinch, slab and coil projects. You will be able to make several pieces and see them to completion from drying to bisque and glaze firing. You will also have the opportunity to try working on the potter's wheel in a one-on-one setting. This course is a pre-requisite for all pottery courses here at the gallery as it gives you a strong foundation, builds your skills and familiarizes you with our studio routines and procedures. The Gwen Fox Clay Studio is an exciting place with a core group of dedicated potters and we welcome new artists!

This course will move on from the basic skills where you left off in your last pottery class. Now knowing all the forms of hand-building, dryness levels, routines and procedures, you will hone your skills and make more complex projects, perfect your glazing techniques and improve your skills on the wheel with lots of independent practice, practice, PRACTICE! Depending on your skill level, you may work larger, with alternative clay bodies or glazes and may exhibit as part of the Gwen Fox artist community.
