Intermediate 4-Week Wheel Workshop w/Jim

Service Description

Form, Function & Design with Jim Gorman Intermediate to Advanced Wheel Ready to build on your wheel-throwing skills and take your pottery to the next level? This 4-week workshop is designed for potters who are already comfortable centering clay and pulling up walls independently and are ready to learn, experiment, and grow. Join Jim Gorman, who brings more than 45 years of teaching experience, for an in-depth exploration of form, function, and thoughtful design. Through demonstrations, discussion, and hands-on instruction, Jim will share techniques and design principles that will help you create stronger, more intentional functional pottery.
