In a series of weekly lessons, Nan will focus on wheel-thrown cylindrical forms employing a variety of surface decoration techniques, including faceting, texturing with wiggle-wires, and creating stretch marks with Sodium Silicate.  Paying attention to both function and aesthetics, you will expand your skill set by following these clear, close-up and detailed video demonstrations.  With direct online access to Nan throughout the course, you will learn to work larger and employ a variety of new surface treatments as you progress through the weekly lessons. 

​Projects will include mugs, vases, two-part pitchers, lidded forms and lamps.  Nan will take you through, step by step, just as she does in the classes and workshops she teaches in person.  Through our online classroom, Nan will be able to address your specific questions and concerns, both technical and aesthetic.
