 Explore hand-building in this beginner-friendly ceramics class. In this sculpture-focused course, practice the basics of pinch, slab, and coil construction techniques through three projects. Experimentation and play with form, texture, and concept are invited and encouraged. The final class will focus on post-bisque surface finishing with oxide washes. At the end of the course, you will take home your fired and finished projects.
