Ceramics - Adult Handbuilding Class (4-Week Sessions)

Join us for an introduction to hand building with clay! This class is for both beginning and returning adult (18+) students who would like to build and develop their handbuilding skills. From refining the pinch-pot, to constructing forms with slabs, this 4-week session will be a whirlwind of learning! 

Students will learn to prepare and construct basic forms including, but not limited to, cups, mugs, bowls, plates/platters, vases, bottles, lidded-containers, etc. The final class will be dedicated to glazing and decorating ware. Pieces will be high-fired in our gas kiln, however, due to the kiln only being fired when full, pieces may not be complete when class ends. They will be fired & kept at the studio for pick-up up to a month after class ends. Health & Safety - Students will need to wear closed-toed shoes, have long hair tied back, and avoid loose-fitting clothing which may get caught on items in the kiln yard.
