Course begins Monday, April 6th, 2026.
Class dates: 4.6, 4.13, 4.20, 4.27, 5.4, 5.11.
Instructor: Amber Frances
This is an ideal course for students who have either completed our Beginner Hand Building class or have other experience in a prior ceramics course. In this class, students will focus on refining their hand-building skills to create functional and sculptural forms. We’ll use slab, coil, and pinch techniques in tandem. This is a project-based class with each session tailored to the current cohort's interests and goals. Each week, we will talk about different techniques as a framework for refinement and explore building bigger forms, adding texture and decoration by making our own stamps, using and making our own bisque molds, and more!
Course fee includes unlimited practice clay, use of all community tools and equipment, studio glazes made in-house, bisque firing and glaze firing. Students may fire and keep up to 10lb fired clay per class. Open studios on Saturdays are also included for students currently enrolled in a class.
