4-Week Hand-Building | Thursdays 10am-12pm | January 2026

Discover the calming, therapeutic nature of hand-building with clay in this fun 4-week class! Perfect for beginners and experienced makers alike (ages 12-adult), this class guides students through every step of creating a set of 4 colorful "rope" bowls of out clay.

Each student will be able to choose the color palette of their bowls, customizing them to their own style and taste. 

Hand-building is a method of clay construction using coils, slabs, pinching, or sculpting techniques to form the clay. Hand-building does not take place on the pottery wheel.
