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, 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

    Inspiration:
  • Danielle, the clay lady How to throw a cylinder. Pay attention to her body position, elbows, connected hands etc
  • Mason Lukes, a teen like you video Published on Jun 29, 2015. Pay attention to his body position, elbows, connected hands etc
  • Off the hump Korean? watch the hand and body positions
  • Not a familiar language Mats Svensson he still gets the message across.
  • Search Google "videos" for "Simon Leach" and choose from many pottery demonstrations.
  • Tim See has recorded his first lesson on throwing very good.
  • Also Andy Ruble teaches six steps to throwing bliss
  • 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.
