SPRING 2023: Basic Wheel with Steve Palmer, Mondays 6:30pm
Students will learn basic wheel skills while making lots of funny mistakes and big messes—there’s no way around it. So come make bowls, cups, and vases - from start to finish- and don’t forget to bring a sense of humor. It's just mud, which, through a bit of alchemy you will turn into something useful, cute, beautiful, or hilarious. So fun!
| Skill Level: | Beginner |
| Skill Details: | Students will learn to wedge, center open and pull walls while making mugs and bowls. All "keepers" will be glazed with food safe glazes. |

| Instructor: | Steve Palmer |
| Instructor Bio: | My passion for working in clay took off while I was a Studio Member of the South County Art Association. The opportunity to work and teach in a creative, supportive environment, surrounded by artists for me is the ideal. I received my B.F.A. from Rhode Island College, and studied sculpture in Italy at the Tuscan Renaissance Center. As a member of SCAA and City Clay, I continue to explore the many forms and functions of clay. Through teaching, I hope to share and ignite the same passion and excitement in my students that I have for the ceramic form. |
