Skills and shapes we can work on together include but are not limited to:

• centering, coning, and opening

• pulling walls

• basic, shorter cylinders (1-2 pounds / 4-6 inches in height)

• pulling taller walls (2+ pounds, over 6 inches in height)

• throwing bigger (3+ pounds, over 8 inches)

• specific forms: bowls, mugs, vases, bottles, spoon rests, plates, closed forms, lidded jars, and more…

We will meet via Zoom, and I’ll be sharing two angles/views of what I’m doing. You can set up your phone to show your wheel - whether in a quiet area of a shared studio with earphones or at home if you have a wheel there.

Scheduling the lesson:

After you purchase the lesson, the order confirmation email will contain a Calendly link to schedule your time. If for any reason you’re unable to find a time that will work for you in my availability, just reach out - we can find a time!

What my students are saying…

“Today was such an amazing chance to absorb your expertise, energy, and enthusiasm for ceramics, and receive real time feedback on my own technique that I could apply immediately to my throwing practice as I explore more complex shapes and forms.

It was so good, you have a very natural approach to instruction and I love the approach we took with a very specific shape in mind.

The zoom format worked and felt just like any other one on one private lesson - definitely exceeded expectations on how effectively you could observe and coach my process in real time. I can’t wait to do it again!”

“I had such a great experience during my first session with Diane!

I took lessons at a studio previously and wasn’t sure if I would get the same experience and instruction over zoom, but was so pleasantly surprised and excited by how much progress I made in only an hour together.

I was really struggling to center my work and pull tall and even walls, but Diane was able to pinpoint exactly where I was going wrong and provided really helpful feedback and tips for correcting my technique.

I really enjoyed working one on one with someone so passionate about ceramics and willing to share their expertise, and I can’t wait for our next lesson! 🤍”
