Intro to Wheel Thrown Teapots
6 Week Course
Service Description
Learn the basics of wheel thrown teapots, spouts, and handles! Students will be guided through the basics of wheel throwing teapot forms to begin exploring their artistic visions with instructor guidance. They will explore the many intricacies of teapots and all their components, such as lids, flanges, handles, and spouts. Simple surface decoration techniques will be covered as well, along with glazing approaches to teapots and spouted forms. A variety of different teapot components will be shown throughout the course, leading towards a more developed teapot of the student's design towards the end of the class. To Bring: Notebook/sketchbook and writing utensil. Old clothes or attire you don’t mind getting a little dirty. Your favorite pottery tools. Tool kits will be available for purchase on the first day of class for $15. If students would prefer to bring in tools for class on their own, the following will be required for this class: a metal rib, wooden rib, needle tool, wire tool, sponge, wooden knife, fettling knife, and trimming tools. Calipers will be provided for class use, but an additional pair of calipers is always good to have if you want to save multiple measurements. This is a stacked class. Basic intro to wheel throwing experience is required for this course. Semi-advanced guidance will be provided for those who have thrown before and are looking for more advanced instruction.
