In this 12-week class, you will be challenged to explore the “how” and “why” of creating pouring vessels. An emphasis will be placed on the planning and preparation made for a vessel before going to the wheel, and learning to assemble all of the components together to make a functional pouring vessel that is appealing, comfortable to hold and easy to use. Students will also look at a variety of forms in relation to handle size, placement on the vessel and various handle making techniques. Demonstrations may include pitchers, decanters, ewers and teapots - design process and surface decoration will be discussed with each form. This course is for Intermediate and Advanced level potters.
