Clay Hand Building 4 Week Series

These fabulous 4-week hand-building courses are beginner and intermediate friendly. Whether you’re brand new to clay or ready to refresh your skills, this series is designed to build confidence while leaving plenty of room for creativity.

Students will learn foundational hand-building techniques including pinching, slab building, and coiling, along with how to use patterns and forms to bring ideas to life. As the weeks progress, we’ll dive into surface decoration and glazing techniques that help every piece feel finished, personal, and totally you.

Each project is guided but flexible. You’ll be encouraged to put your own spin on the work and explore your individual style. If you’ve never touched clay or already know the joy of muddy hands, you’ll feel right at home here.

All tools, clay, and firings are included. Just show up ready to create. No extra fees. No surprise costs. Just good clay days.
