Before ceramicists invented the wheel, hand-building was the only way they could create functional and artistic ceramic forms. This class will teach students traditional hand-building and surface treatment techniques to create sculptural and practical objects out of clay. No experience required. Materials included.

This class brings together individuals of various skill levels who wish to learn or improve their abilities on the pottery wheel. Beginners will learn the essential forms that may be used to make bowls, plates, mugs, vases, and other items. Those who are proficient in fundamental throwing methods will concentrate on increasingly complicated shapes, glazing, and surface design approaches.
