Basic Wheel-throwing Techniques

Don’t miss this chance to try your hand at pottery while being taught by a professional: Anne
Scott Plummer, WSU Art Professor Emeritus! This four course series is funded
by SEMAC, letting you learn the basics for less than the cost of materials. At least one of your
pieces will be on display at Winona Creator’s Collective for two weeks after the glaze firing.

Learn some throwing techniques on the potter’s wheel, and throw a plaque to hang on the
wall! Celebrate what you love about Minnesota in the summer, or choose another theme for
your plaque. Also, practice throwing cylinders, the basic pottery form for all beginning potters.
Clay, underglaze and glaze provided. You’ll practice basic throwing, trimming, and glazing, and
pick up glaze-fired work after the class is over. Once you’re done, we’ll have a mini art show
display for your friends and family!
