sectional wheel throwing

Learn to assemble, alter, and refine multi-part ceramics while pushing scale and technique with instructor Joel Brodovsky-Adams.
An intermediate to advanced ceramics workshop explores composite construction techniques using the wheel as a primary tool. Over four days, participants will prepare shrink slabs, throw and alter components, and learn strategies for assembling complex forms. Instruction will cover wheel-throwing, hand-building, and refinement techniques, with demos ranging from shrink slabs and altering wet pieces to assembling leather-hard components and adding surface details. The focus is on skill-building and encouraging experimentation with forms that can later be refined, fired, or even epoxied together. Whether envisioning functional furniture, sculptural objects, or playful hybrids, participants will gain hands-on experience in building larger works from multiple wheel-thrown parts, expanding the possibilities of clay beyond the wheel.
