CLAY & CREATIVE PROCESS: SCULPTURAL HANDBUILDING
FOR ALL LEVELS
Thursdays, March 5-April 30, skip March 26, 6:30-9pm
$350 plus $30 tool kit
*firing fees are extra and based on the size of the pieces you fire
Step beyond the mug and bowl! In this expressive handbuilding course, you’ll explore clay as a medium for creativity, imagination, and personal expression. Through guided projects, weekly themes, and sculptural techniques, we’ll shift the focus from “making perfect pottery” to discovering your own artistic voice in clay.
You’ll experiment with slab, coil, and solid-building methods to create forms that tell stories, explore texture, or express emotion. Each student will build confidence through process-based learning while still developing tangible finished pieces to take home at the end of the session.

Do you love being creative with clay? Is wheel throwing not your thing? Join us for this 8 week class where we will explore everything clay has to offer OFF of the wheel!
