Class Info

    Classes focuses on developing hand-building techniques of pinching, slabbing, and coiling through guided instruction to complete specific projects.

• Teacher led projects vary. Students are encouraged to follow their own intuitive take on each project. 
  
• Once students show an understanding of basic techniques, they are invited to work on their own projects during class under the supervision of the instructor.*
• Wheel Throwing is not available during the Seasonal Student Session.
