Join our School for a fun introduction to working with clay! This workshop dives deep into the exciting world of ceramic hand building. Students will be introduced to basic techniques such as pinching, coiling and slab building to build their skills in clay. From functional vessel forms to sculptural objects, we have a myriad of projects to learn the basics of hand-building and have fun while we’re doing it! An emphasis on using the versatile LSA glaze collection will teach students how to glaze their ceramic pieces.
This ten-week workshop welcomes all ages, all levels and we encourage participants to register alongside family, friends, or to come on your own ready to meet new people. No experience necessary. Bring your creativity and an apron!
Please Note: No class will be held on Saturday, March 20 (March Break).
