Saturday February 28 to March 28, 2026 1:00pm - 3:00pm

This five-week, introductory handbuilding class will get your hands busy creating from a raw block of clay and at the end of the workshop you will walk away with a set of tumblers and a pitcher perfect for iced tea, lemonade, hot cider, and sangria. Or, you may choose to create a set of four cups with little saucers, a nice addition to any friendly get-together.

During the four weeks of building we will explore the three main hand building techniques, slab, coil and pinch with a focus on building using the slab method. You will learn more about the amazing properties of clay, and together we will look at some of its properties and some of its limitations. 

Touch, feel, form and shape what goes into creating some of our most treasured and used utensils, the cup, the pitcher and the saucer. We will see the different ways handles are made and attached. The first four classes will focus on designing and finishing our projects The last class will be a glazing class.
