HAND BUILDING
Get your hands dirty with fun and interactive hand building lessons. All students love working with clay and feel extremely accomplished after completing a project. Class sizes are kept small in order to ensure each participant gets enough attention from the instructor. We will be using hand-building techniques. Projects may include items such as: Clay animals sculptures, name plaque, pinch pots, mugs, tiles, lidded pots, jewelry items, slab building and coil pots.
