Ready to move beyond smaller forms?

In this workshop, students will learn the techniques and strategies needed to successfully throw with 5–8 lbs of clay. Ideal for potters looking to take their first step into larger forms, this class focuses on building confidence while developing the skills required to manage more clay on the wheel.

Ken will demonstrate methods for centering larger amounts of clay, creating stronger pulls, maintaining even wall thickness, and shaping taller, more substantial vessels. Students will gain a better understanding of proportion, volume, and form while learning how to avoid common challenges when scaling up.

Whether you're interested in creating larger vases, planters, or simply expanding your throwing abilities, this workshop will provide a solid foundation for working at a bigger scale.
