The CW HB 101 - Beginners Hand Building Workshop (6 Weeks)

New to Pottery & Ceramics? Look no further; this workshop is for you! It's designed for beginners in hand-building or those looking to try a method other than the potter's wheel.

The Clay Warehouse's HB 101 Beginners Hand-Building Workshop is all about getting creative, having a good time, and experimenting with clay in a friendly environment. In this 6-week course, you will learn basic clay terminology along with fundamental hand-building techniques such as pinching, coiling, and slab building. Students will also be taught basic glazing techniques.

The class is kept small, ensuring each student gets the opportunity for one-on-one attention. All levels of experience are welcome and targeted at beginners. Each workshop takes place over 6 weeks, with 2.5 hours per class. All clay, tools, and supplies for this workshop are provided. Class sizes are limited to a maximum of 6 students to ensure plenty of one-on-one time with your instructor.

Students who enroll in this class will have access to our online booking system to schedule a drop-in studio session. Booking open studio time during or after your class is a great way to build on the skills learned in class!

No Clay Experience Required:

This class is ideal for those new to clay, seeking a different method than the potter's wheel, or looking to refresh old skills.
