Academy Pottery specializes in wheel-thrown pottery. Student Potters will learn the fundamentals of throwing on the pottery wheel and explore surface treatments while pushing the boundaries of the materials and themselves.  With hard work and dedication Student Potters will be able to create vases, cups, bowls and more after their first year. There is no prerequisite for this class.  Intermediate and Advanced Pottery focuses on refining throwing skills while experimenting with a variety of clay bodies, learning advanced throwing techniques along with hands on kiln/firing experience.
