This course will focus on building the fundamental skills of wheel throwing. Students will learn the whole throwing process from centering to shaping different forms. Continuing to trimming and glazing, you will learn steps from start to finish to create pottery. Students will leave with finished pieces and the knowledge to start their independent ceramics practice.
This class is geared towards beginners, but is also appropriate for moderately experienced students who are looking for a refresher on foundational skills.

CLASS MATERIALS
Students registering for this class must purchase the Ceramics Class Materials Fee including clay, glazing, and firing. If you have leftover clay purchased from BAC in the last year, the clay purchase requirement can be waived. Please be sure to mention this in the "NOTES/ADDITIONAL INFORMATION" section of your registration. Per the instructor's recommendation, students registering for this class should purchase the “95400 White Clay” option.
There is a materials/firing fee is for every 25 lbs (sleeve) of clay used. This fee goes towards glaze materials and firing costs (fuel, electricity, etc). Choose from white, red, porcelain or reclaimed (mix of camp and white) clay. More clay can be purchased if needed.
Due to the rise in cost from the supplier, Berkshire Art Center has raised the price of clay as of 9/21/2023.
NOTE: Porcelain Clay is currently out of stock as of November 5th, 2024.
