Expand your wheel throwing skills in this hands-on two-day workshop focused on creating beautiful lidded jars. Designed for intermediate potters, this class explores form, function, and finishing techniques while working with larger amounts of clay (3-6 lbs).
During two 3-hour sessions, participants will create 2–3 lidded jars ranging from 3–6 lbs each. On day one, we’ll focus on throwing the jar forms and matching lids, with an emphasis on proportion, fit, and gallery construction. Day two will be dedicated to trimming, refining, adding knobs and handles, and exploring surface alterations to give each piece a unique finished character.
This workshop is perfect for potters wanting to improve precision, lid fitting, and larger form throwing techniques.
