Students will have time to learn to make  a pot on the pottery wheel each week. The next day is when we will trim the bottom of the pot. I will make a video of how I center the clay and make a pot on the wheel to send to you. I will make a video and send it to you to show you how to trim the bottom of the pot.
I will teach from my own pottery wheel.
Learners will be able to interact and ask questions as much as they want or as needed during , before, and after class.  I will send out video messages to expand on what we were learning on the specific days.
* learners will share each week what they have made via  by posting picture or a video in the classroom as part of the classroom interaction.
I teach step by step and will be willing to go back to a step if someone in class needs me to if the learner needs a quick review. 

Learner need a pottery wheel for this class please.  It would be great if you have had pottery wheel experience but it is not necessary.  I can teach a learner at any level of clay experience.
