Intermediate and Advanced Throwing

This 6-week course is designed for those with some experience in pottery. It is recommended you take beginning ceramics at least twice before this class, as it is developed for those familiar with the pottery wheel. This course will help to move beyond the basics through scale, design, attachments and more. Students should feel confident with wedging and centering clay, as the focus will be on more complicated and multiple forms like lidded vessels and other functional vessels for the kitchen. One bag of clay with all glazes and firings are included, additional clay is available for purchase.

Rob Kellenbeck has over 5 decades of experience in the ceramics field. He began his college academic studies in math and science, but once he took a ceramic elective course, he was hooked and started a more creative academic path in the arts. His major became ceramics which lead him to earn his BFA from Texas Tech. He went on to open Deer Creek Pottery in the early 70’s. His accomplishments in the ceramic industry are vast and we are happy to have him here as an instructor and fellow potter in the Great Falls community. To learn more about Rob and Deer Creek Pottery.
