Nothing beats a Sunday morning cook-up. Think fresh bread, eggs, avo, bacon, and of course, coffee. Actually, hold that thought. Nothing beats a Sunday morning cook-up except for maybe one thing: serving it up on tableware made with your very own two hands.

During this three-hour workshop, you'll learn how to make and a mug, bowl, and plate using several different hand-building techniques. You'll then have the choice between a beautiful white finish, or to decorate them using underglaze (like paint, but for clay). Designed for beginners, this is the perfect way to get those creative juices flowing and learn what hand building is all about.

You will learn:

◦ the ceramic process

◦ the fundamentals of hand-building, including pinching, coiling, slabbing, and joinery

◦ surface decoration

All clay, tools, glazing, and firing are included. After the class, we will fire and glaze your pieces in a clear glaze, and you'll be able to come and collect them approximately 4-5 later. If you're from out of town, shipping can be arranged.

You won't need to bring anything with you, but please wear comfortable clothes & shoes, have short nails, and remove all valuable jewelry.

All classes are subject to availability and may be cancelled at any time, under the discretion of the operator.
