This intermediate-level class explores ways to throw larger forms by working with the body rather than against it.
Traditional throwing methods are often taught around men’s anatomy, strength and centre of gravity. This workshop offers a recentering of technique, considering how different bodies can approach throwing large forms in ways that support their longevity.
Focusing on the physical pressures of throwing upwards of 7kg of clay, we will explore posture, leverage, gravity and practical techniques for working larger.
Maximum of 8 participants. Materials included, firing optional at additional cost. Optional items list will be supplied.
