In this intermediate class, students will learn to create forms by altering their vessels through technical manipulation to create new functional and sculptural forms from their wheel thrown pieces. This altered pottery class will focus on transforming wheel-thrown forms into unique, non-round shapes through bending, cutting and attaching, and adding hand-built elements. The goal is to move beyond the traditional circular form and create expressive, individualized pieces.

Students will need some experience with wheel throwing. We will also be doing a small amount of handbuilding but no experience is required.
