Mixed-Level Handbuilding
6-Week Sessions: June 10 – July 15 
Wednesdays 10-12:30 with Kate Hamilton @kate.makesthings

This relaxed and creative class is a great fit for total beginners as well as returning students looking to deepen their skills. Join one session or both for a summer full of clay exploration!

What You’ll Learn:
In this six-week series, students will learn the foundational techniques of handbuilding with clay—pinching, coiling, and slab construction. We'll work through guided projects together, while also offering space and support for personal exploration and independent ideas outside of class.

Each session will emphasize form, design, and technique, giving you the confidence to build everything from functional pottery to sculptural pieces. Students with prior experience will be encouraged to refine their craftsmanship and take on more complex projects.

What’s Included:

  • 25 lb. bag of clay

  • Instructional time with an experienced ceramic artist

  • Access to 16+ studio glazes

  • Use of shared community tools

  • 4 hours of optional open studio time per week

  • Additional practice hours available at $15 per 2-hour block

Please Note:
Personal hand tools are required and can be purchased during class.

Open Studio Practice Hours:
Wednesdays: 4 – 8 PM
Thursdays: 4 – 8 PM
Fridays: 12 – 4 PM
Saturdays: 12 – 4 PM

Whether you're just getting started or want to take your handbuilding to the next level, this class offers a welcoming space to learn, create, and connect.
