In this hands-on class you will learn how to use a pottery wheel and make your own ceramics to keep.
This workshop will introduce you to the essential skills and relevant mindset that will help you control and form the clay on the pottery wheel. You will learn about centering the clay on the pottery wheel and aligning the clay particles using the coning up and down technique. You'll have some fun experimenting with these techniques and opening the clay to create basic vessels.
Working on the pottery wheel requires steady hands and a focused mind. The wheelfulness approach to pottery integrates the psychology of mindfulness by encouraging you to reflect on how your ability to master the clay on the spinning wheel is influenced by your mental and emotional state.
Note: We will be using an electric pottery wheel; the picture included is an artistic illustration.
Pottery Wheel Class: Make and Paint Ceramic Plates, at Sat 30 Jan at 1:30pm
Kids Pottery Holiday Class, at Sat 6 Feb at 10:30am
My memory of working with clay reaches back to my childhood, when I first attended a pottery course. My teachers encouraged me to go to art school, however I have pursued a different career. I studied psychology, completed a PhD, and have become a university lecturer. I have been a sessional academic since 2003 and throughout the years I have taught various subjects in the areas of cognition, neuroscience, and educational psychology.
It was in 2015 that I found my way back to clay and started to embark on my creative adventures. I have coined the term 'Wheelfulness' to connect the practice of working on the pottery wheel with the psychology of mindfulness. In my Wheelfulness classes, I encourage students to reflect on how their ability to master the clay is enhanced by positive mindset and repeated practice. I believe that this ‘wheelful' approach not only helps students become better potters but benefits other aspects of their life.
