what’s class like?
what’s class like?
in handbuilding classes, students will make taller, more complex forms using age-old techniques and learn various ways to decorate using contemporary techniques.
we’ll mostly be employing the coil and pinch method of building, but other techniques will come into play.
this is a more straightforward approach to making functional objects without the use of the potter’s wheel. you can easily adjust your projects based on your desires. come with inspiration! we’ll look mostly to historical pots, so your vessel could be a basic vase, a sculptural vás, a wide and open piece for ikebana flower arrangements… options are endless.
students will walk away with a better understanding building larger vessels and new ideas for decorating 3D objects.

what to expect in handbuilding class
what you’ll make:
we’ll focus on coil, pinch, or slab methods of building in class. different shapes, techniques or forms will be the focus each time so it’s always a little different.
if you’re just starting out, this will give you the basics you need to make a small vase (6” tall) or a tall cup, or shallow bowl (or dish, of some sort).
we can make anything at the table. bring any ideas you might have.
where we’ll make it:
classes occur outdoors under cover.
expect flora, fauna, and general #florida phenomena. make sure to dress for a mess and the weather - long pants and/or closed toed shoes are recommended.
how we’ll glaze it:
you can choose a glaze and we’ll finish your pieces for you or you can schedule with us separately.
if you’re thinking you’d like to take multiple sessions, DIY glazing options are including and you can come back go the studio to glaze your work when you’re ready.
when you’ll get it:
pieces take approximately 3-6 weeks to move through the firing process. we’ll be in touch when work is ready, but feel free to contact us for an update.
are all materials provided?
for single session riders, cost includes clay and firing for your work ❤️ glazing is not included in the cost for these classes, but you can schedule a day to glaze here
if you’re thinking you’d like to take multiple sessions, youll get extra clay to practice with during the week. DIY glazing options are included, so you can come back go the studio to glaze your work when you’re ready.
