Class Description

8-Week Handbuilding With Clay This class is for students who have taken a prior class or who have some experience handbuilding and want to take their skills to the next level. We'll learn how to work with templates, build walled vessels (as illustrated) decorate with flowers, and other sculpted shapes, including carving techniques like sgraffito and kurinuki. Two weeks will be for independent projects, using up 5 lbs of clay creating projects no higher or wider than 12". Extra clay for can be purchased. NOTE: A minimum number of students must be enrolled for the class to proceed.

All completed work must be collected from Ford City Potters within 6 weeks after the final class, once you're notified by email. Work will not be stored after 6 weeks. Students are expected to arrive on time for each class to ensure the smooth running of the session. Late arrivals cannot make up for lost time.

Classes must be paid in full upon registering on the website (credit card or PayPal accepted). Classes are non-refundable. Makeup days are only possible only for glazing days, and only if a space is open in another class.
