This is an essential step before you start sculpting or throwing your clay. It ensures there are no air bubbles and makes the clay a consistent texture.
Throwing refers to making things on our wheels. This is the first step of the process, which is followed by trimming clay a few days later when it is dry.

Trimming comes after throwing a piece to remove any excess bulk and finalize the shape you want for your piece. This should be done on slightly drier clay.
You MUST clean your wheels properly. This helps the wheels last longer and is expected of all members.
Pieces can also be made through handbuilding and sculpting! This takes place on our canvas table by the door.
Glaze is applied to pieces after they have been fired once. This gives them colour and makes them food safe (if you use a food safe glaze)
