Coil Throwing Masterclass

Building bigger, bolder forms is within reach.
In this focused one-day masterclass, you’ll learn how to combine wheel-thrown bases with hand-rolled coils to create larger and more expressive ceramic pieces. You’ll explore the process of adding coils, building height and volume, and shaping forms while the clay is still workable.

This workshop combines wheel throwing with handbuilding techniques to help you expand your skillset and unlock new possibilities in form and scale.
This masterclass is designed for potters with prior wheel experience who want to explore larger, multi-part forms and more sculptural approaches.
