Hand Building with Clay: Beyond the Wheel
April 28 @ 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Hand Building with Clay: Beyond the Wheel is a four-week ceramics class. It runs Tuesdays, April 21 through May 12, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Members: $210. Nonmembers: $235.
This class is a strong companion to wheel throwing. It also works as a standalone option. Hand building is slower, more organic, and highly expressive. Students work without the wheel and build new skills in form, texture, and surface design.
Students will make mugs, plates, and other functional items. They will also explore molds and hand-sculpted forms not possible on the wheel. The process allows for more detail, decoration, and experimental shapes.
This class is well-suited for beginners. It is also a good next step for wheel throwers. All materials are included.
