Get your hands dirty with us and learn the basics of hand building with clay. In this six-week lesson introduction to ceramics, each week focuses on a distinct project that builds fundamental skills while encouraging creativity. Week one begins with pinch pots, teaching students to form small bowls or cups by hand. Week two transitions to coil-building, where students create decorative or functional vessels using layered coils. On week three, slab construction is introduced, with students crafting items like tiles or simple lidded boxes. Week four focuses on making a dish using texture and surface design, allowing students to experiment with stamping, carving, and adding embellishments to a pre-constructed form. On week five, students design and build a small sculpture, emphasizing creative problem-solving and structural integrity. The final week is dedicated to forming a mug by using one of the techniques previously learned (pinch, coil, or slab). Each project introduces a new skill, ensuring students leave with a strong foundation in ceramics.
