core skills series

The Core Skills videos are for beginner and beginner+ wheel-throwers. This means you have some experience with throwing, up to two years of experience. You can consistently center and throw small pots. I find that many pottery students plateau at this level, and need some clear direction to progress further. Once you’ve conquered all of the Core Skills projects, you will be a skilled and cognizant thrower who can throw any pot you want.

If you are an abject beginner who has never touched clay, you can do this program too, if you are sufficiently brave! Plan on spending a lot of time on the steep learning curves of centering, and learning how to position and brace your body.

If you have more than beginner+ experience, these videos are designed to still be challenging for you. The level of difficulty advances quickly, and my expectation standards are high. No matter your experience level, for anyone who feels they have plateaued with their skill level, these videos will get you back into gear and moving forward again.
