Centering: On and Off the Wheel

In this fun and intense course we will learn to “center,” metaphorically as well as literally. Our first few days will be centered on the process of a well thrown pot; coming from our core, participants will learn the power of control at the potter’s wheel. Participants will also be encouraged to set their minds aside and focus on internal strength and finesse. As we progress we will move into refinement, surface treatment, and finish work. Participants are encouraged to come with an open mind and an open agenda. All who wish to will have an opportunity to learn about the mysteries of glaze chemistry, the art of glazing and conclusive firing techniques. The workshop will end with an art show displaying the week’s bounty.

Participants are encouraged to come with an open mind and an open agenda. We will take our inspiration and spiritual input from the magnificent surroundings of the Ranch.
