Fall 2023 Pottery

September 14 - November 9, 2023

Thursday’s 7 - 9 p.m.

This class investigates the basic ceramic techniques of throwing and hand building to create functional and sculptural work including bowls, cups and vases. Both beginner and experienced students are welcome. Class Meets Thursday evening from 7-9 pm for 9 weeks starting September 14th at the Juniata College Ceramic Studio in the Sil business incubator.

I encourage everyone to spend time in the studio outside of class, because the more time you spend practicing the more you will improve. Practice makes improvement! Feel free to utilize the studio and provided materials when class isn’t in session, as well as in the evenings, and on the weekends. The degree seeking student class schedule is posted on the throwing room and handbuilding room doors for your reference when planning your schedule. I highly recommend that all students keep their nails cut short for the duration of the class. Short nails may not be pretty, but your pots will prettier because of it! Long nails gouge into clay, making it harder to throw and often accidentally leave half moon gouges on leather hard wares. All jewelry should be removed from hands and wrists, long dangling necklaces should also be removed, long hair should be tied back.
