Progressing on the Potter's Wheel
For anyone with some experience on the potter’s wheel, this course will help increase the scale of your work, reduce the weight of thrown forms, increase the quality and variety of forms you can make on the wheel, and increase the efficiency of your throwing techniques. Designed for intermediate and advanced potters and sculptors who use the wheel, you will explore a variety of forms from teapots to casseroles, as well as assembling thrown parts into exceptional vessels of larger scale.
BILL HUNT is perhaps most widely known for his editorship of Ceramics Monthly magazine for more than a decade. He has been a resident artist at the Archie Bray Foundation (Helena, Montana), and a full-time studio potter. For the past 8 years he has taught ceramics and ceramic art history at Columbus College of Art & Design (Ohio). An artist for more than 40 years, Hunt has exhibited his ceramics in many prestigious regional, national and international exhibitions. His work has been included in more than 60 different articles and books nationally and internationally. In addition to teaching, Hunt has conducted workshops around the country, juried and curated multiple exhibitions including the “21st Century Ceramics in the United States and Canada,” and authored a long list of publications. His current work with handbuilt and thrown porcelain, bone china or stoneware vessels reflects an interest in the various grasses found on his farm in Delaware, Ohio, drawn or painted in cobalt underglaze and overglaze.
