Beginning Handbuilding - 10th Nov
6 weeks - 2hrs every week
Service Description
Discover the creative freedom of handbuilding in this six-week beginner class. Perfect for those new to pottery or even experienced potters looking to try a new technique. Handbuilding allows for greater flexibility and a higher chance of success, especially when creating larger pots or sculptural forms. You’ll learn the basics of coil building—an age-old method that gives you more control over your shapes—while also exploring sculpting techniques to bring your ideas to life. In addition to mastering form, we’ll dive into a variety of decorating techniques to enhance your pieces, including clay carving, slip decoration, and the use of colored clay to add texture and vibrant detail. Whether you're creating functional pieces or artistic sculptures, this class offers an approachable yet rewarding experience, combining essential skills with plenty of room for personal expression. What to bring: Please bring a hand towel that you don’t mind getting dirty. Since working with clay can be a bit messy, you might get some on your clothes or experience light water splashes, so wear something comfortable that you don’t mind getting a little dirty. Please bring an apron if you want to. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes as well.
