What will I learn?

Learn how to choose clay, wedge it, and prepare it, then try throwing cups and bowls on the wheel plus simple hand-built trays and dishes. Get good at trimming, decorating surfaces, testing and applying glazes, and planning kiln firings, all while following key safety rules for the studio and kiln to get steady, confident outcomes.
