Throwing with RibsSaturday Sept 19: 9AM - 1PM. One Nighter [Ginger Lukas]
Students will spend an afternoon talking about how to create textures on the sides of their thrown pots. This is not a handbuilding class! All throwing! We will be throwing and and then altering all in one day. Emphasis will be on making metal and plastic ribs and cutting personal profiles for students to use in class and on their own. Other textures will be explored. We will discuss other topics as requested by the class (glazes that highlight texture best, advanced forms, etc). Must have previous throwing experience and be able to pull walls (without good walls you can't use ribs). You will glaze on your own in open studio or another class, if enrolled in another class.

Pickle Jar
Saturdays Sept 26: 10AM - Noon. One Nighter [Ginger Lukas]
For Beginnermediates, you should know how to throw a cylinder. Are you a home cook and a beginning potter who likes experimenting with your own flavors? Come and make your own water rim pickle jar! Students will spend three hours throwing and forming their small pickle crocks, as well as a lid and weights. The focus of this class will be on beauty and functionality - the goal is for each student to have their own small working crock for making pickles or kimchi or sauerkraut. We will talk recipes as well as techniques! As this is a one day workshop, students will have to specify what glaze colors they would like and leave the finishing up to the ceramics team at SAA.
