Guided Pottery Workshop at Jiaren Cafe - Chubby Hands Ceramics

Welcome to the Hand-building Pottery Workshop at Jiaren Cafe!

During this workshop, you will have the opportunity to create your own unique pottery pieces with guidance from our instructor. In this more structured Tuesday pottery workshop, you will deep dive into a specific project or technique each class, working step-by-step alongside the instructor throughout the process. This class is perfect for beginners, as you will receive step-by-step demonstrations and guidance as you create!

We will learn the 3 basic techniques of handbuilt ceramics: Slab building, coiling, and pinch work. This workshop is aimed at helping absolute beginners feel more confident in their artistic abilities with clay by giving each student detailed instructions and guidance. Each weekly project is designed to give you a foundation to be creative and add your own artistic personality.
