Two days at the wheel with a focus on efficiency and precision — getting the most out of the clay.
Students receive instruction in clay preparation, centering, throwing a range of forms, and trimming. Each morning opens with a thorough introduction to the techniques Eric uses at the wheel.
It's hands-on throughout, with multiple demonstrations and insights drawn from his own approach — the same one that's made Tortus a reference point for throwers everywhere.
Keep what you make A flat $75 fee processes your work — studio access to finish trimming, bisque firing, glazing with 50 cone-10 glazes, and the glaze firing. Members and enrolled students may fire by deducting from their monthly allotment.

- One complimentary bag of cone-10 B-Mix clay
