Basic Hand-Building (Online)

September 13, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

$76

Sunday, Sept 13th, 1pm-4pm

 

This class will cover the basics of handbuilding: How to stick two pieces of clay together so they won’t fall apart or crack afterwards! We will also cover decorating and glazing techniques to familiarize students with the entire process.

 

I will demonstrate simple form construction as well as additions such as handles and lids. Students are welcome to simply watch the class or make work as their workspace allows while the session is live.

 

This class will be a 3 hour class held online through Zoom. There will be time for questions throughout the class and at the end.

Enrolled students will be given directions for clay pickup, completed work drop off for firing, glazing, and final work pick up after firing that follow current health guidelines.

 

Materials required:
clay
clay tools (can also just use fork, butter knife, old credit card)
rolling pin or soup can for flattening clay
computer with video and sound capacities
