CLAY & CREATIVE PROCESS: SCULPTURAL HANDBUILDING
FOR ALL LEVELS

Thursday evenings: 6-8:30pm
7 weeks: Oct 30-Dec 18 (Skip November 27) 

$300 plus $30 tool kit
*firing fees are extra and based on the size of the pieces you fire

Step beyond the mug and bowl! In this expressive handbuilding course, you’ll explore clay as a medium for creativity, imagination, and personal expression. Through guided projects, weekly themes, and sculptural techniques, we’ll shift the focus from “making perfect pottery” to discovering your own artistic voice in clay. 

You’ll experiment with slab, coil, and solid-building methods to create forms that tell stories, explore texture, or express emotion. Each student will build confidence through process-based learning while still developing tangible finished pieces to take home at the end of the session.
