This class is perfect for those who are comfortable centering, opening a pot and throwing basic forms but want to take their skills to the next level! We will focus on throwing larger and more complex forms and learning new techniques. From making lids and spouts to adding texture to your pots, we’ll take a deep dive into more advanced techniques with lots of personalized instruction to help you evolve beyond your current skill level.

Class is every Tuesday and Thursday from 10 AM-12:30 PM at The Mud Room North: 1831 N Killingsworth Ave, Suite D.

Dates: September 17th - October 17th

Before signing up, we encourage you to make sure that you can make it to every class. We have found that learning pottery with a teacher present yields the best student outcomes. More good habits and fewer bad ones. Our class model has twice-weekly sessions and no open studio—we emphasize hands-on instruction to help you really learn. Our teachers are there for you!

This course will be taught by Ron Linn.
