A welcoming introduction to the art of clay. This class is perfect for those who want to strengthen their foundational pottery skills or have never worked with clay before.
Over the course of this two-part series, students will learn essential hand-building techniques including slab building, pinch construction, and coil methods. Understanding these techniques allow you to create a wide variety of handmade pottery without using a pottery wheel as well as support and expand wheel projects.

Projects may include bowls, mugs, luminaries, vases, sculptures, trays and small dishes, tiles, wall hangings, or other beautiful, functional and/or decorative pieces designed to build knowledge and confidence with the process, tools, materials and structure of clay.
During the final portion of the course, students will prepare their work for firing and glaze their pieces.
