Service Description

Join us for an exciting single session of our handbuilding class, where you'll have the chance to create a medium sized vase or sculptural vase. This workshop is designed for beginners but is suitable for anyone looking to explore the flexibility of handbuilding with clay. In this session, we will primarily focus on the coil building technique, an age-old method that involves rolling out long strands of clay to construct your desired shapes. This technique not only provides a higher chance of success for beginners, but also allows for greater creativity and control over your designs, making it easier to achieve your vision. You’ll learn how to layer coils effectively to create both functional and artistic pieces, along with techniques for adding texture to your work, which can enhance the overall aesthetic. This hands-on experience invites you to experiment and explore your creativity while building foundational pottery skills. After the session instructors will note your glaze preferences and will glaze the piece for you. Your piece will be available for pick up in 3 - 5 weeks. 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.
