Hand-building workshop
$325 / 6 weeks
Tuesdays starting April 28 from 6:30-9:00 pm
Our popular Vase Making workshop is growing! We’ve extended this course to six weeks to give you more room to dream, build, and experiment. This extra time allows us to move beyond the basics, tackling larger-scale forms and more ambitious silhouettes that require a bit more patience and structural planning.
Throughout the course, you’ll explore various hand-building techniques to create a collection of vessels that are uniquely yours. With the added weeks, you’ll not only make more work but also have significantly more time to delve into the glazing process, experimenting with finishes and surface designs. Whether you’re a total beginner or a returning student, we will provide the technical guidance and fun atmosphere needed to help you achieve your specific artistic vision.
