Welcome to our "Discover Pottery: Introduction to Handbuilding" class—a creative journey into the world of clay. We'll explore the fundamental techniques of handbuilding, which include pinching, coiling, and slab construction, to create a variety of fun and functional pottery pieces.

Class Overview: Our Discover Pottery: Introduction to Handbuilding class is perfect for anyone that that wants to try pottery without a pottery wheel. 

What We'll Do:

  • Pinch Pots: We'll start with the basics of making pinch pots, where you will learn to shape your own bowls or animals using just their fingers.
  • Coil Creations: Next, we'll roll out snakes of clay and layer them to build up forms like vases, cups, or bowls.
  • Slab Projects: Using flat sheets of clay, we'll cut out shapes to assemble into boxes, houses, or tiles. 
  • Glazing Glory: Once your pieces are bisque-fired, you will return to glaze your creations, choosing from a rainbow of colors to add that final, shiny touch.

Class Details:

  • Duration: 4 weeks, with one 90-minute session per week for 3 weeks. Week 4 the session will be a 120-minute session. This session will be used to glaze our creations. 
  • All materials, including clay, tools, and glazes, are provided.
  • Finished pieces will be glazed and fired, ready for pickup within 2 weeks after the last class.
  • Small class sizes to ensure personalized attention for each potter.

Benefits:

  • Encourages imagination and artistic expression
  • Teaches patience and attention to detail
  • Provides a tactile experience that's both therapeutic and fun

No prior experience with clay is necessary, making this class perfect for beginners.
