These classes are for our advanced hand building students, who have been with us in the past. Instruction will be given with the expectation that you have prior experience, and will build upon the basic hand building techniques learned in pervious sessions. If you join this either of these hand building classes & have no/limited experience, we will not issue a refund or move you to a different class once the session has begun. Classes are 3 hours in length, taking place on various days of the week for 7 weeks (7 total classes).
 
All prospective students must be 18 years of age or older, if you register and are younger than 18 years of age, we will not issue a refund for your tuition once the class has begun. Please note that all storage shelves for current students and independent potters are located in the basement of the Potter’s Wheel, which is accessible only by a single staircase. This may be an issue for those with limited mobility.
 
This course focuses on basic techniques that include the use of pinch pots, coils, slabs, and extruded forms, along with an overview of ceramic materials, surface treatments and glazing will be included. Students are encouraged to innovate and follow their creative vision. No experience is required.
