Learn how to throw taller forms by building them in two sections and joining them on the wheel. In this one-day workshop, we will explore techniques for throwing and assembling sectional pieces to create larger, more ambitious vessels.

This approach allows potters to work beyond the limits of what they can comfortably throw in a single piece. By learning sectional throwing techniques, students can expand their scale and create more ambitious forms than they might otherwise achieve on the wheel. Demonstrations will cover throwing the lower and upper sections, understanding the right timing for joining, trimming and refining the seam, and tips for maintaining strong structure and clean proportions.

Participants will have time to practice throwing both sections and assembling their forms, with guidance throughout the process.
