SUMMARY:Ceramics: "Beginning Pottery Wheel Series"
DESCRIPTION:Deadline to Register: April 22nd at 5:00pm \nTitle: Ceramics: “Beginning Pottery Wheel Series” \nDescription:  Pottery making is an ancient craft and art\, with the first wheel-thrown pottery made thousands of years ago to create utilitarian and artistic vessels. Over the course of this 4 week class\, using a modern electric pottery wheel\, you will learn the time-tested basics of shaping clay\, as your instructor guides you through the essential steps of creating a wheel-thrown vessel.  After making your form (bowl\, cup\, etc)\, it will be bisque-fired\, and you will then apply a glaze of the color of your choice. Be prepared to get muddy as you make your very own unique wheel-thrown creation. \n*There are many variables during the drying and firing process\, and pieces can crack or even explode. While we make every effort to ensure your work will be a success\, these variables make it impossible to guarantee your work will survive but this is the life of a potter. \nInstructor: Paul Wieland has been making wheel-thrown pottery for over 15 years and has taught at multiple pottery studios throughout the region. He studied ceramics under Tom Marsh at the University of Louisville and was a co-founder of the Tennessee Valley Ceramic Arts Guild (TVCAG).
