POTTERY

WHEEL CAMP

FOR TEENS

(12 - 17 years old)

Where to come:
(S014A) in the Sarto Desnoyers Community Centre, 1335 Lakeshore Road, Dorval. Look for the outside door to the studio near the bike rack on the south west corner.

When to come:
Monday July 11, 2010, Clay talk starts at 9h or 13h so arrive a little early to choose a wheel and an apron.

What to wear:
  • old running shoes so your toes stay safe
  • short sleeves so you don't need to be rolling them up
  • no skirts
  • many potters work in shorts but I prefer to keep my legs covered and clean
  • tidy hair so when you lean over the clay it doesn't block your vision or tangle with the clay
  • remove your rings - the clay will sandblast them

    For answers to questions email: brenda.mader@sympatico.ca

    Inspiration:
  • Search Google "videos" for "Simon Leach" and choose from many pottery demonstrations
  • Search Google "videos" for "pottery demonstrations" and choose from a wide variety of good and bad potters. Include words like demo, pottery, centering and cylinder in your search.
