Pottery Lessons





I spent the morning learning to throw pottery with David Bradley at Alpha Ceramics. He is a great instructor and will give one-on-one lessons on request plus he teaches classes through the Learning Exchange and at Alpha Ceramics. I learned how to throw a vegetable steamer, a chicken pot and a luminary candle. Included in the lesson was how to throw a lid and different types of handles. I am exhausted and happy at the same time. If you are serious about pottery, I recommend asking your instructor for the time. They usually have an hourly rate and it is worth every penny. Here are some examples how they should look when I am done. I haven't finished trimming and adding handles.
