Handbuilding (18+)

Class Description

Adults need art exploration, too! Come spend two hours getting your hands dirty with clay and learning the basics of hand building pottery. This is a free-build class, which means you get to decide what you want to make! Create a cup, bowl, plate, small sculpture, or whatever your heart desires, as long as it fits within our size guidelines. All experience levels are welcome, from complete beginners to seasoned clay artists. _____________________________________________________ What you'll learn: You'll start with 15–20 minutes of instruction covering the basics of hand building techniques. After that, you'll have plenty of time to work independently and an instructor available to help along the way. This session features speckled stoneware clay, which gives finished pieces that trendy, natural speckled look. Check out some examples here! Each participant receives: 3 lbs of speckled stoneware clay, enough for a cup, bowl, plate, or small sculpture Colored underglazes to decorate your piece before firing Final clear glaze, applied after the first firing to make your piece durable and food-safe _____________________________________________________ Perfect for a date night, girls' night out, a creative night on your own, or anyone who wants to try something new! *BYOB! Fridge space is limited* **You will not receive your piece at the end of class. Pieces take roughly two weeks to dry and fire. You will be required to return to the studio to pick up your final piece. THIS IS NOT A WHEEL-THROWING CLASS**
