Bowls: Big and Bigger
Registration
Laura Piquado
Mondays, October 16 – November 27, 2023
9:30am – 1:00pm
In this wheel-based class we will be working on scaling up. Building on your throwing practice, we will focus on how to construct larger bowls. Applying various techniques of form, structure, and proportion you will learn how to go from big to bigger. The ability to shape and develop dimensions doesn’t require you to focus and throw a single large volume of clay; if you can throw a small soup bowl, you can scale up and up!
Students should bring:
- Apron
- Hand towel
