February Introduction to Handbuilding

Discover the art of hand building in this beginner-friendly class,
perfect for those who want to explore the tactile and creative
possibilities of working with clay—no wheel required! Under the guidance
of a professional ceramic artist, you’ll learn the foundational
techniques of pinching, coiling, and slab construction. Throughout the
course, you’ll work on instructor-designed projects that highlight each
of these techniques and help you develop and refine your skills step by
step. All students will work on the same projects at the same pace,
ensuring a cohesive learning experience and plenty of opportunities to
ask questions and receive personalized feedback.

 

All materials and tools are provided, and aprons and towels are
encouraged to keep you clean while you work. No prior experience is
