Description
Robin Carson
Cylinders & Bowls are the foundation for everything we make at the wheel. We learned this in beginner classes. In those classes we get you started at the wheel, but for many really getting all the clay out of the bottom and up into the walls can take years to master. The truth is that when we are new to clay, it is really hard to retain the lessons that help you to make really good cylinders. Once you have at least six months under your belt, you have capacity to really go deep on learning some skills that can help you make better cylinders. On the flip side, if this skill is not refined, we can develop habits that affect our work for years.
During this Sunday workshop Robin will cover clay preparation and throwing techniques to help you level up your throwing. Be prepared to cut your work in half as this workshop is not about leaving with work, but about throwing and analyzing what you can do better.
Who Should sign up?
This workshop was created with both Beginner 2 & Intermediate students in mind. Having said that, we ask that you have at least six months of wheel experience. Robin plans to focus on areas that will refine skills you already have in order to facilitate break through moments for things that have been troubling you at the wheel. We are allowing a maximum of 9 students to enroll in this workshop.

How to sign up?
You can sign up below starting immediately. Normally I have classes go live at a specific time, but with the last minute class, I wanted to open immediately to give you all time to plan if you are able to snag a space. ​

What is needed?
Clay & Throwing Tools. You will experience the best results if you use the clay you normally throw with.
