Pottery Handbuilding for Beginners

This class meets once a week for six weeks

These six 2-hour classes cover the basics of handbuilding with clay. This class is intended for those with little or no experience, but would also be good for someone returning to clay after an extended break.

The course focus is on developing good skills with wedging clay, pinch pots, slab building, and coil building.

In addition to learning to create the base forms, you will also learn how to do finishing trims, surface decoration, and finish with glazing.

This is a six-week long class.

Dates: Thu 02/22/24 - 03/28/24

There is a $25 materials fee for your clay. 

Please wear clothes you can get muddy.

The class is 1.5 hours of work time and 30 minutes of clean up. The first class may go long due to learning the clean-up process.
