Six Week: Introduction to Handbuilding

Three superstar build techniques, a major project and glaze session

Over six weeks we put the FUN in fundamentals of handbuilt ceramics. Over the first three weeks, we create using three different techniques (everyone has a fave), before embarking on our unique ‘major project’ in weeks four and five. Vivacious vases, luscious lamps, titillating teapots or something else, uniquely you? You decide. In week six, we come together for a glazing session to turn your artworks into fully functional ceramics. 

Maybe you’ve taken one of our hand building classes (gotten tipsy while making mugs, vessels or planters…) and are super keen to learn more? Or just have a hankering to get stuck in. This class is ideal for folks with zero experience, through those who've had a few lessons, but need a refresher to improve their technique.

+ Structure
In the first three weeks we’ll cover three different building techniques, weeks four and five jump into our major project,  and in the final week, we come together for a glazing session to turn our masterpieces into fully functional ceramics.  

+ Lesson length
Included in our six week session is weekly, 2.5 hour lessons from our fabulous handbuilding master, who will hold your hand every step of the way - literally if needed - a bag of beautiful, tactile midfire clay, firing and glazing.

+ No experience required
This class is ideal for folks with zero experience, though to those who've had a few lessons, but need a refresher to improve their technique.

+ Can I reschedule 
Class sessions run for six consecutive weeks. Same day, same time. Sorry, if you can’t make it to a session, we’re not able to offer make-up classes, or switcheroos. 

+ How do I book
Please note: only the FIRST date of the session is listed on our booking calendar below.  You only need to book in for  the first date of the session and you will be automatically signed up for all 6 consecutive weeks.
