This relaxed and creative class is a great fit for total beginners as well as returning students looking to deepen their skills.
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.
