Focusing on thrown vessels with a twist, literally! Sometimes it can be hard to make a perfectly uniform piece on the wheel. Even when that is achieved it can sometimes be missing something. So, let's embrace the “wonky” pot! We will be focusing on altering thrown forms to make intentional dents, twists, waves, dimples and other textures. We will use all sorts of tools, and unconventional items like, rope, stamps, sticks, and much more to make some awesome wonky pots!!! **Students must attend an intro to wheel class prior to attending this Level 2 course.
