About the Class

Join full time Studio Potter Amy Palatnick for an immersive one-day workshop designed to support your body in the studio and strengthen your foundational wheelthrowing technique.

Body and Self-Care in the Studio: Start the day by learning essential practices for sustaining a long, healthy, and joyful pottery life. Amy will guide you through practical body-care strategies that promote alignment, ease, and comfort as you work—helping you prevent strain, reduce soreness, and feel more comfortable as you work.

The Claw Pull Technique; In the afternoon, you’ll dive into Amy’s signature Claw Pull—the foundational technique first pull that moves a lot of clay and sets you up for strong, even-walled cylinders. Through demonstration, guided practice, and personalized feedback, you’ll begin building the muscle memory and confidence to integrate this transformative technique into your throwing.
