Lifting 102 - Virtual Workshop

Put on your pjs, grab a cup of something warm, and spend an hour with me on the pottery wheel! This one-hour VIRTUAL workshop will concentrate on an exercise we call ‘Pull it til you break it’.  We will walk you through the techniques of lifting (or pulling) up the walls, until the walls are so thin and fragile that they naturally collapse. This exercise will teach students how far the clay will actually go, so you don’t get stuck making a bunch of paper weights. We learn through failure, and sometimes that can be scary! But once you start making those tall, thin-walled vessels, you’ll be happy for the breaks along the way.

*This workshop is for anyone who is interested in watching and learning! However, please note that I will not be covering any centering techniques in this hour. If you are a beginner, we suggest taking our Centering 101 workshop as well.
