Intro to Hand Building - Single Class

Get creative and make something that you will love and cherish each day. The possibilities are endless in a hand building class.

Your instructor will walk you through the essentials: pinching, coiling, and slab building to shape your own pieces. With guided instruction throughout the class, you'll get plenty of support as you learn how to build form, add texture, and construct pieces entirely by hand.

Whether you're after a fun solo activity, a creative date, or something different to do with friends, this taster is a relaxed, low-pressure way to try your hand at an ancient craft.
