Course Overview
Course Overview
Unleash your creativity and get hands-on with clay in this 10-week introductory ceramics course, designed for beginners who want to explore the art of handbuilding.
Handbuilding is a traditional method of creating pottery or sculptural forms using only your hands and simple tools, rather than a pottery wheel. It is a versatile and expressive technique used in both beginner and professional ceramic work.
Throughout the course, you will learn essential handbuilding techniques, experiment with textures and forms, and create a personal collection of handmade ceramic pieces to be showcased in a mini-exhibition.
Each session includes a mix of demonstrations, guided practice, and independent work time. By the end of the course, you will have completed several finished pieces to take home.
You will build confidence in working with clay and develop a deeper appreciation for the ceramic arts. We look forward to welcoming you on this creative journey!
