Working with an increased volume of clay introduces new challenges—centering becomes more demanding, walls require greater consistency, and maintaining structural integrity is key. Through guided demonstrations and hands-on practice, you’ll build the confidence and techniques needed to scale up your work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1252\" data-start=\"769\"\u003eDepending on your individual experience, you’ll refine your throwing skills while exploring wider forms such as plates, platters, and oven dishes. Emphasis will be placed on even compression, controlling clay distribution, and preventing common issues like warping or cracking in larger pieces.
