This beginner-friendly class is designed for students who are new to hand-building, as well as returning potters who want to strengthen their foundational skills in a supportive studio environment.
You’ll learn essential hand-building techniques step by step, including pinch, coil, and slab construction, along with surface decoration and glazing. By the end of the class, you’ll have a solid understanding of hand-building methods and several finished pieces to take home.
No prior experience is required. All materials, tools, and aprons are provided — just bring yourself! We recommend wearing clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting a little muddy.
Studio access is included with your course and available from 10am–6pm Monday to Saturday, and 12am-6pm on Sundays. Double-check the website calendar to ensure there aren't one-time or private classes!
Please note: the first week is mandatory, as we’ll go over important studio procedures and safety guidelines. Once classes have begun, we’re unable to offer refunds.
Classes are subject to change if the minimum student quota isn’t met (5 students).
Instructors are subject to change.
