LMS Llamas on the Wheel Session 2 July 6-10 9:30-11:30

Join us for a one-time intro to the wheel.

About this experience

One-Time Class | Beginner Friendly | Backyard Studio in Austin

Open exclusively to Lamar Middle School Visual Art Majors we will spend 5 mornings 9-11:30 exploring the fundamental forms that we can make on a pottery wheel. Starting with  a cylinder we will progress to a bowl, a sphere, a bottle and a plate. Each day we will discuss the form and practice intentionally making each of these basic forms.  Along the way we will practice centering, trimming and conclude our week with glazing our pieces. Artwork will then be fired and available for pick up in two weeks.

The class includes instruction, clay, tools, set glaze options, and firings. Students are asked to bring a water bottle for personal hydration, and an old towel for cleaning up/protecting your car for the ride home. All other materials will be provided. 

Includes:
- All clay and tools, glaze selection and firing of pieces
- Instruction

- Small class size for personal attention (6 students max per session)
