My Project

My Ceramics students are loving the wheel this year in the studio.

Throwing on the wheel is such an amazing process.

It takes a few tries to get the hang of centering, coning, and pulling but once a student gets it they cant stop. With these two wheels we will be able to have four students throwing together. When we have more wheels the students tend to teach each other and it becomes a really cool bonding and learning experience.

The students that are hesitant to get on the wheel and practice will have no excuse to try.
