We were thrilled to welcome to teach a specialty workshop on throwing larger in two parts.

Our class was packed with enthusiastic potters, ready to be challenged to go bigger. Noah individualized his teaching technique to each person’s needs. Students learned new centering skills, new first initial pulls, and lots of coaching on how and when to use a heat gun effectively.

Thank you, Noah for sharing your knowledge with our community, and thank you to all the artists who joined us for a day of learning and growth!
