Course Info

6 weeks

2½ hours

Our 6-Week Intermediate Pottery Class is designed for makers who already have experience and want to level up with focused guidance. Whether you are coming from a beginner course or you have been practicing on your own, this class helps you refine technique, build consistency, and work through the specific challenges holding your work back.

 

Participants can bring their own projects or goals to improve, such as pulling taller cylinders, strengthening bowl forms, trimming cleanly, throwing sets, altering, fitting lids, attaching handles, or improving surface finishing. Each session includes targeted demos, skill drills, and individualized coaching, so you leave with stronger technique and better results. You will also receive feedback on form, function, and workflow, plus support with glazing and finishing choices that match your direction.

 

By the end of six weeks, you will have improved control, cleaner forms, and a more confident process, along with finished pieces that reflect your personal goals.
