Hand building Classes
Double-Wall Pierced Form Workshop
(4 Weeks)- Afagh

This class focuses on double-wall construction, where an inner and outer layer are joined to create depth and visual interest. You’ll learn how to pierce through the outer wall for lightness and pattern, and how to shape and attach handles. All materials, glazing, and kiln firings are included.
cost: $285 ( Clay is included)

Step beyond the everyday and into sculptural claywork. In this class, you'll create bold, expressive vessels that blur the line between function and art.

Perfect for those looking to push their practice into new territory.

Sculptural Vessels & Abstract Forms
(6 Weeks)- Afagh
Starts July 2 | 6:00 to 9:00 PM
​
In this 6-week class, you’ll explore handbuilding through pinch, coil, and slab techniques to create both functional and sculptural ceramic pieces. Over the first 5 weeks, we’ll build with our hands — forming mugs, bowls, vases, or abstract works — while learning how to shape, connect, and refine clay. The final week will be all about glazing your finished pieces, getting them ready for their final firing.
cost: $420 ( Clay is included)

Animal Mug Workshop
(3 Weeks)- Afagh
Starts July 7 | 6-9 PM
Make a mug with personality. You’ll build your mug from scratch, then bring it to life by sculpting an animal — or transforming the whole form into a creature.

Cost: $195 (Clay is included)

Glaze Chemistry
This six-week course offers a comprehensive introduction to glaze theory and chemistry. Through a combination of lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on lab work, participants will gain a deeper understanding of glazes. While focusing on cone 6 glazes, the principles taught are applicable to all firing ranges. The course covers essential techniques such as mixing test batches, creating formulas, conducting line blends, and firing glazes, with results mapped onto the Stull chart for analysis. Additional topics include the ceramic periodic table, using glazy.org, adjusting glazes to achieve a true cone 6 fit, and addressing common glaze defects. By the end, participants will be equipped to experiment with and develop their own glazes.
