Hi, my name is Heidi Pommer and I am the advanced wheel teacher at TealNest. I have been a fine artist for more than 30 years. I studied design in Santiago, Chile and London.

Schedule:
Days and times: Saturday, 2- 6 pm, and Sunday, 9 am - 1 pm
On Saturday: Each student will get 12 pounds of clay, and we will have a refresher of the basics of bowl throwing. Then you will have 4 hours to throw as many bowls as possible.
On Sunday: You will learn how to trim, modify, carve and decorate your bowls. At the end of the workshop, you will get to keep up to 6 bowls (additional bowls will cost $5 each) that I will finish for you in the glaze of your choice.
I will have refreshments and snacks for both days.
Pieces will be ready to be picked up in 4 weeks. You need to bring an apron and an old towel.
