SVS Intermediate Pottery Gallery

Welcome to our Intermediate Pottery online gallery!  

The Intermediate Pottery course is designed to advance students’ skills in ceramic arts through experiential learning. Participants engage in a series of hands-on projects and assignments that focus on refining hand-building techniques, such as pinch pots, coil construction, and slab work. The curriculum also incorporates  more advanced wheel-throwing methods. Emphasis is placed on the continued development of hand-building and wheel skills, increased attention to surface finishing techniques, and the use of essential ceramic terminology.

This course is a recent addition to Shepaug Valley High School, first offered during the 2024–2025 school year.
