Join us for a fun and energetic class with Morean Artist in Residence Jon Green. In this class you will learn the basics of wheel throwing from beginning to end. Jon will share his techniques and experience to help you create your own wheel thrown pottery. Jon’s lessons will be geared toward helping beginners get started and intermediate-advanced students refine and advance their skills. All lessons will emphasize both utilitarian and decorative elements of wheel thrown objects. Students will gain the basic understanding of how to work in a ceramic studio. All glazes and firings are included in the class price. All levels welcome!
