It’s challenging, demanding and some would say an elusive act of magic. It might happen once and then it seems you just can’t get it again, struggling and hoping the clay will eventually center itself. Giving up, you try to make something anyway only to be disappointed it starts to wobble and you have to stop, not getting what you wanted. If you’re ready to stop guessing and start centering with confidence, join master potter Nancy Blair for a lively, hands-on workshop that teaches clear, repeatable, step-by-step methods you can use every time you sit at the wheel. Individual attention is given to each participant troubleshooting for the exact things that throw you off—pressure, posture, speed, water, and “why is this clay fighting me?” This is a centering only workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePre-Registration is required.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease review our\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/indianriverclay.myshopify.com\/pages\/studio-policies\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eStudio Policies\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eInstructor: \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNancy Blair\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSkill level: \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll Levels\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eCost: \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e$60\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMaterials Fee: \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e(if needed) 1\/2 Bag of clay $15\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eClass Dates: \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSunday, January 31st\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTime: \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e2pm - 5pm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLength of Class: \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e3 hours\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLocation: 1239 16th Street, Vero Beach, FL 32960\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNancy Blair, MFA is a master potter, sculptor and author of five books on art, myth and\u003cbr\u003ethe power of creativity as a healing experience.
