Ceramic Single Class Pottery Wheel– Way of Earth

Pottery-wheel

Join a Ceramic Single Class at the pottery wheel within the Way of Earth program.
This session offers an introduction to wheel throwing grounded in attentive making, material awareness, and Wabi Sabi aesthetics.

Designed for beginners and hobbyists, the class focuses on the foundations of working at the wheel: centering, opening, pulling walls, and shaping simple forms. The emphasis is on developing a direct relationship with clay, rhythm, and gesture, rather than on producing perfect results.

Working at the wheel supports focus, patience, and embodied presence. Through repetition and hands-on practice, participants learn to listen to the material and to the process itself, allowing form to emerge naturally.

This single class provides a solid base for those wishing to continue with multi-lesson courses, workshops, or deeper paths within the Way of Earth program, strengthening both technical skills and a grounded ceramic practice.

MANUELA METRA

Manuela Metra è un’artista visiva contemporanea e Wabi Sabi ceramic artist, diplomata presso l’Accademia di Belle Arti San Luca. Da oltre venticinque anni sviluppa una pratica plastico-pittorica che indaga la forza viscerale della materia attraverso la scultura contemporanea, l’estetica zen e i processi della trasformazione. Il suo lavoro prende forma mediante l’impiego di grès naturali, wild clay e pigmenti preparati personalmente. È fondatrice di Celadon – Wabi Sabi Academy, spazio dedicato allo studio della ceramica, alla sperimentazione sulla materia e all’approfondimento del rapporto tra terra, acqua e forma.
