Intermediate Handbuilding
Tuesdays, 6:00 pm
January 6 – February 24 | Ages 16-99+

Class:

Explore the magic of clay as you learn the uniquely expressive qualities of clay when you develop more advanced handbuilding techniques from previous handbuilding classes, to create both functional and sculptural work. Students will explore advanced pinching, coiling, slab making, and surface alteration as they work on teacher-led projects and practices. Come join us and create your next favorite fictional piece or your new favorite piece of home décor!

What You’ll Learn:

In a group learning environment, you will learn step-by-step instructions to develop more in-depth hand-building techniques including pinching, coiling, slab-making., unique shaping techniques, and surface manipulation to create functional and/or sculptural ceramic projects designed by the instructor.

*It is preferred that students have previously take a beginning handbuilding course before rolling, or have previous clay working experience.*

***(Students are required to follow the instructor’s curriculum. Only work produced from that curriculum will be fired.)***

What You’ll Leave With:

Depending on the disciplinary skill of the student, a student may leave with 7-9 completed pieces of pottery from 25lb bag of clay.

(Students will submit glazed works for final firing on the last class of the session. Students will be contacted, via email, once their pottery has finished firing and available for pick up on a later date)

Deadline to register by: January 2nd
