Handbuilding 8 Week Course

Beginner/Intermediate level

This 8 week class welcomes students of all levels and will cover basic handbuilding techniques including pinching, coiling, slab building, applying textures, use of equipment such as a slab roller and extruder, glazing, and fundamentals of the life cycle and process of ceramics. More advanced students are welcome to work and receive guidance on their own personal projects.

• Class includes 3 hours of open studio time per week for students to work on their projects (dates & times TBD).

• All students will have their own shelf in the studio to store their clay, tools, and projects. The course fee includes unlimited studio clay. (Additional clays can be purchased at the studio if desired.)

• Students should bring their own tools or purchase them from the studio (for $15 on the first day of class), and should bring their own aprons and towels if desired.

• The student firing fee is $0.06 per cubic inch which covers the cost of bisque and glaze firing

• All work must be completed or ready to go into the final glaze kiln by the end of the last class.

• Students will have the option to book additional studio time ($20 per hour) if they would like more than the allotted class time.

Students must be fully vaccinated and wear masks in the studio. As always, we ask that you don't come to the studio if you aren't feeling well.
