Handbuilding
Description
Handbuilding is an ancient pottery-making technique that involves creating forms without a pottery wheel, using the hands, fingers, and simple tools. We will cover the techniques of pinching, coiling and slab building. Once you have experience with these three methods, you can make just about any object out of clay. We start with pinching, and build upon the technique with coiling, then to slab construction. This class will introduce the basic handbuilding techniques used to build functional and sculptural forms. No previous experience in clay is needed for this class.

All Adult Ceramics classes include a 15 pound bag of clay and full access to studio glazes and equipment, open studio hours, and space in scheduled kiln firings. Beginning students should purchase a basic pottery tool kit for class (not included in price of tuition).
