BUCKFIELD ART

Ceramics is a course that gives students the opportunity to practice throwing pots on the potter’s wheel. You will be shown the basics of centering, pulling and shaping the clay.  There are two electric wheels and two kick wheels in the art room, so space is limited to just 10 students per trimester. Pottery is a skill that takes practice! It usually takes students three tries to get something that looks remotely like a clay pot, so persistence is the key to success! Half of the class will be using the wheels while the other half works on hand-building techniques.
