Wheel-throwing Lidded Pieces Series w/ Anjali - 04/29/26, 05/6/26, 05/13/26, 05/20/26, 05/27/26, 06/03/2026

Let's not beat around the bush, if you have been trying out some ceramics, then you want to learn how to make some funky little jars, pots and lidded bowls to hold all your trinkets. Well, I got you! This beginner/intermediate wheel-throwing class will go over various lidded piece forms and techniques, as well as some throwing techniques such as throwing off the hump. 

Each student should go home with 4-6 lidded pieces!

This series is made up of 6 two-hour classes on Wednesdays, from 6:00 - 8:00 pm. 

*Note* - there must be at least 2 signups for this class to run, if only one person signs up, I will reach out to them personally and we will find another time that works to reschedule this course. 

Schedule:

Day 1: Simple closed-form lidded jars 

Day 2: Mini ramen bowls or donabe style pots + trimming

Day 3: Classic lidded pieces + trimming

Day 4: Classic lidded pieces pt. 2 + trimming

Day 5: trimming

Day 6: glazing

While this is the planned schedule, it may shift depending on the needs and pace of the students. 

This class is intended to be for students who have thrown on the wheel before, and who are able to throw basic cylinders. However, if you are worried that this class may be too advanced, or aren't sure if it's the right fit, please reach out to me via instagram or email and we can figure it out together!
