Throughout this introductory course, participants will learn the fundamentals of handbuilding, including pinch pots, coils, slab work, sculpture, and glazing. A wide range of techniques and methods will be demonstrated and both functional and sculptural work will be encouraged. This course will prepare students to be confident in their creative choices, techniques and handling of clay along with giving them a taste of why so many potters fall in love with this medium! This class should be taken before any beginner wheel class.
