Wheel Throwing for Returning Students with Cath
Sunday afternoons 3:30pm - 5:30pm
6-Week Course
Session length: 2 hours
Class size: Max 3 students
Price: $225 per person
You’ve moved past your first pots. Now it’s time to develop the skills and independence that turn occasional throwers into actual makers.
This 6-week class is for students who’ve completed beginner instruction or have some wheel experience and want structured support as they build toward specific goals—whether that’s achieving a consistent wall thickness, throwing taller or larger forms, mastering lidded vessels, or simply deepening your command of the wheel with a teacher present.
We work in small groups (maximum three students), which means real feedback on what’s actually happening at your wheel, not generic advice. Each session can be shaped around what you’re working toward. Some weeks you’ll focus on a particular technique; other weeks you might spend the full period refining a single form until you understand it at the material level.
This isn’t about learning new steps in sequence. It’s about moving from following instruction to making deliberate choices—understanding why a pot fails, recognizing what your hands are telling you, knowing when to push a form further and when to step back. You’ll develop the spatial sense and problem-solving that separates competent throwing from intuitive making. Six weeks. Small group. Real studio time with someone who can see what you need.
