About this course

Centering: Clay & Self
30 minThe first skill every potter learns is centering clay on the wheel. It is also the first mindfulness lesson: you cannot center clay if you are not centered yourself.
The Wedging Meditation
25 minWedging removes air bubbles and homogenizes clay. It is repetitive, physical, and profoundly calming — like kneading bread for your creative practice.
Opening the Form
35 minPush your thumbs into centered clay and open a vessel. This moment — creating space from solid — is one of the most satisfying in all of craft.
