Handbuilding is a way to work with clay without using the pottery wheel – instead we will use techniques with coils, slabs or pinching the clay to make functional and sculptural work. We will also use equipment like rolling pins and slab rollers to start the process, using more clay to embellish and decorate our work. Pieces will not be fired, but spray glazed instead. Cost includes all materials.

Learning Objectives:

• Slab building
• Coil Method
• Pinch Method
• Modeling
