You’ll focus on mastering the foundation of vertical growth: steady hands, even walls, and the courage to cut through your work (a lot).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"943\" data-end=\"1202\"\u003eWe’ll start with cylinders — the backbone of all great pots — then move into collaring necks and shaping elegant bottle forms. Once you’ve conquered height, you’ll learn how to trim and refine those tippy masterpieces using chucks and other custom supports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1204\" data-end=\"1499\"\u003eThe final class will focus on glazing techniques that complement tall forms and bring balance to their proportions.
