Description :

A new offering and a new instructor to welcome:  Saturday Evening Int/Adv Wheel Throwing. (Pottery Wheel ONLY Course)

No class on March 30th due to Spring Break

Welcome to Intermediate/Advanced wheel throwing. This course is designed to facilitate an exploration of thrown forms, with an emphasis on repetition and consistency, as well as the development and refinement of a personal voice. Students are encouraged to utilize class time to complete class projects, while also spending at least 3 hours per week practicing during open studio. Instruction will include demos on various methods of working such as throwing off the hump, lidded vessels, thrown and altered forms as well as different ways to achieve surface effects. 

Evaluation and feedback will be provided 1:1 between instructor and student as well as an end of session group critique.

In addition to dedicated practice of the throwing techniques, students will be encouraged to maintain a sketchbook with notes and sketches throughout the 6 week session.

Instructor Eric Jensen: 

Eric Jensen is a high school art teacher in Portland, OR, where he teaches Jewelry and Sculpture. He received a Bachelor's degree in Art Practice from Portland State University, where he focused on integrating ceramics, printmaking and shop-craft into a creative practice. Eric is a former coordinator of the Materials Lab at Portland State, where he facilitated a wide variety of workshops, classes and studio practice associated with the art and architecture programs.

The son of a potter, and passionate about teaching, creating, and sharing creative space, Eric grew up digging holes for, and throwing rocks over pitfirings. His first remembered ceramics experience was at UC Berkeley in 1986, where he threw a very heavy bowl out of a red earthenware clay body. Eric recently built his second small pottery studio, where he makes work, teaches classes, and facilitates neighborhood raku firings. His goal has been to bring neighbors, creatives and kindred spirits together to share space, make art and enjoy each other’s company.
