Serving bowls, spaghetti bowls, salad bowls... The bigger the better! Are you confident in your throwing skills and ready to expand your repertoire? Join Wade and the Ely Folk School for this hands-on workshop. Wade will go over a number of methods for successfully throwing large bowls, as well as give feedback as you give it a shot yourself. Some previous experience with wheel throwing required. This class is intended for students to practice and hone their skills in a supportive environment--students should not expect to leave with finished pieces. Members who complete a bowl with their own materials may choose to keep anything made in class, though additional trimming and firing will need to be done in their own time (ceramics skill builder classes do not cover standard firing charges.)
