This is a twice-weekly course that lasts for 5 weeks held at The Mud Room North. 

If you have taken a class or two (at The Mud Room or elsewhere) but you still need some more time exploring the fundamentals, then this class is for you! You will hone your skills with centering, cylinders, bowls, trimming, and attaching handles. You will also explore new techniques based on your requests; we can offer instruction on repeated forms, exploring underglaze, throwing plates, and more.

This class is perfect for those with a little experience on the wheel who want to continue their practice and explore new methods but don’t quite feel like an “intermediate”. Coming into the class, you should know the basics of wedging, throwing cylinders and bowls, attaching handles, and glazing. You will leave class with some finished and functional wares! 

If you’ve taken Beginner 1 and are interested in starting a membership at The Mud Room, this class is not required but we find that it’s helpful to get more support and get more questions answered. 

Class is every Tuesday and Thursday from 6-8:30 PM at The Mud Room North: 1831 N Killingsworth Ave, Suite D.

Dates: February 11th-March 13th

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 Adria Standeven.
