6 Week Monday Evening Wheel Throwing!

Course Description

Studio clay, Glazing, Kiln Firing and Tool Usage Included in the price. Class overview: This class is great for first timers as well as students who are more advanced. We will start by mastering the fundamental processes, including: wedging, centering, throwing cylinders (and other forms), trimming, and glazing. There's absolutely no pressure to have any experience or have it all figured out. Come to class with an open mind and we will work through your goals together to make some beautiful, unique pieces! 60-21 Myrtle Ave | Ridgewood, Queens Mondays 6:30-9pm From 7/13-8/17 *Students can expect to finish around 5 pieces by the end of the course, with a maximum of 8 pieces to take home. Please remember that these classes are designed for learning and exploration—not high-volume production. We encourage a focus on skill-building and creative growth. Cancelations must be before 7/8 to be eligible for a partial refund. ($25 Cancelation fee) All of our makeup sessions (except the last class - glazing) are non-instructed. Unfortunately, it’s not possible for us to fit all makeup students into regularly scheduled instructor-led classes. While we offer makeup sessions as a courtesy for students who miss a class, we can’t guarantee a makeup. When space is available we do our best to provide studio time so students can practice the skills they learned during their course. 1 Make-up per multi-week session. About the teacher: Alex Littell is a Brooklyn based sculptor and conceptual artist. They have been working with clay for 5 years and hold a B.F.A in Sculpture and Integrated Practices from Pratt Institute, as well as an A.A in Studio Arts. Alex’s personal work explores clay through a lens of labor and sexuality, with a focus on technical skill building and intuitive design. Alex enjoys testing the bounds of ceramic sculpture and encouraging students to do the same. In Alex’s wheel class students will learn the importance of foundational skills and “rules” of ceramics, and by the end feel comfortable bending those rules. It’s all about balance.
