ONLINE WORKSHOP: MASTERING BIG POTS
About The Workshop
The Concept
Scale is not a matter of physical strength, but of technical strategy. This course is a deep investigation into the mechanics of large-form ceramics.
The Goal
To equip intermediate and advanced potters with the foundational logic required to transcend the limitations of traditional throwing.
The Outcome
Mastery of incremental construction, allowing for the creation of vessels of practically any size without physical strain.
Curriculum
Pillar I: Foundation & Materials
Selecting and conditioning clay bodies for structural integrity at scale.
Pillar II: The Mechanics of the Wheel
Ergonomics and body positioning to ensure physical longevity and control
Pillar III: Incremental Construction
Advanced techniques for stacking sections and managing moisture (fans and torches).
Pillar IV: Refinement & Aesthetics
Structural joins, troubleshooting "saves," and finalizing the silhouette.
Program Logistics
Access: Ten high-definition video modules with accompanying technical manuscripts.
Flexibility: Entirely self-paced; unlimited access to the instructional archive.
Infrastructure: Designed for implementation in any home or professional studio.
Investment: $300 for access to the curriculum.
