Wheelthrowing, Attention, and Rest

Making art at human scale. Internalizing the skills and process of wheelthrowing while disentangling from externalized attention economies and reprioritizing intra- and inter- personal connections. More simply; each week a group of nine people will meet up to practice wheelthrowing, share ideas, share snacks, go for walks, read books outside, birdwatch, maybe even take a nap in the sun. We will learn how to wedge, center, throw, trim, glaze and fire (mostly) functional art objects. The semester concludes with a cookout using our vessels. Note: All students enrolled in the class will be required to delete or suspend activity on all social media accounts for the entire semester. Also, students will be required to purchase three books, a pottery tool kit and clay.
