Wonky Pot Wkshop

This class will focus 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, lets embrace the “wonky” pot!

We will use all sorts of tools, and unconventional items like, rope, stamps, sticks, and much more to make some awesome wonky pots!!!
