the original class description
Who wants to kick off the New Year with a return to our most basic and beloved form, the Cup? Let's get down & dirty and super nerdy and really delve into what makes a great cup and learn how to do that. From talls to smalls and all the sizes and uses in-between, including how to make the templates for the form you desire.I will be demonstrating each week on Tuesdays at 5pm Pacific, and then dropping in for extras in-between.
Let's make this January a month of ceramic goodness to remember, by dialing in our cups and becoming our own perfect potters.
