HAND-BUILDING WITH CLAY
Looking for a fun, hands-on activity where you can get creative (and a little messy)? Our hand-building clay class is perfect! It’s generally easier than working on a potter’s wheel, so you can dive right in and enjoy the tactile experience of shaping and creating with clay.
In this class, you will learn fundamental techniques like pinch, coil, and slab and use these methods to transform a lump of clay into your very own unique masterpiece. Get ready for some imaginative and exciting creations!
This class will meet 2 consecutive weeks (1 for making your piece, and 1 for glazing), from 10:30-12:00.
Next classes:
- Session 1 – September 20 and 27
- Session 2 – October 25 and November 1
