Summer Session I: Beginner to Intermediate Handbuilding

This introductory handbuilding workshop is open to complete beginners and returning students. Each week, students will explore a range of handbuilding techniques—from thick slabs to delicate coils—guided by prompts that help them draw inspiration from their lived experiences.

Students are encouraged to interpret prompts in their own way, using building techniques that resonate with them. This serves as a starting point for developing personal ideas and forms. Emphasis is placed on building confidence, curiosity, and an individual approach to creation.

All sales are final. No refunds will be given. If you must cancel for a health or family-related reason, please contact our studio manager for a possible credit towards a future class
