$350.00

6 Week Class
Sunday Mornings
10AM-1PM

This intermediate wheel throwing course, led by Amy Henson, is designed for students who are comfortable centering and pulling walls and are ready to expand their technical range and formal vocabulary. The class will focus on developing more complex forms and refining control on the wheel through a series of demonstrations and guided class time.

Students will explore a range of functional and sculptural forms, including vases, pitchers, lidded jars, and double-walled vessels. Instruction will emphasize key techniques such as throwing off the hump for efficiency and consistency, constructing and fitting lids, and managing form and volume for more advanced vessels. Attention will also be given to proportion, timing, and intentional shaping to support stronger, more resolved work.

Through demos and individualized feedback, participants will advance their forms while also strengthening their overall throwing practice. This course is ideal for those looking to push beyond foundational skills and develop a more versatile and thoughtful approach to the wheel.
