Learn how to hand-build in clay during this fun four-week course! Hand-building utilizes a variety of techniques done without the potter's wheel, such coiling, pinching, and using slabs. Hand-building can be used to make both functional pottery and sculptural pieces.

While this class is suitable for total clay beginners, it can also accommodate more experienced clay workers. Instructor Maranda Powers can help you realize any hand-building ideas you have in mind!
