Pottery: Explorations in Hand Building

Immerse yourself in the world of clay with our all-levels hand building class! This course is designed to enhance your skills and creativity through weekly hands-on demonstrations. We will cover techniques such as slab and coil building, building with moulds, and a handful of ceramic knowledge to enrich further understanding of the material itself. You will create both functional and sculptural projects while discovering the versatility of this timeless medium. Students will be able to work on self-directed projects under the direction and support of the instructor as the course progresses. Various decoration techniques will be covered as well as how to glaze your finished pieces properly for a beautiful and durable finish.
