What is Clay Handbuilding?
Clay handbuilding is an ancient pottery technique that involves forming clay using only your hands and a few simple tools. The three main techniques - coiling, slab building, and pinch pottery - open up a world of exciting possibilities. Whether you’re a beginner or just looking to get your hands dirty in a fun, creative way, these workshops are for you!
During this workshop:
✅ You’ll hand-build your piece with guidance from Terri
✅ Choose your glaze colors from a variety of beautiful finishes
✅ Your piece will dry, then be bisque-fired, glazed, and fired again
✅ Ready for pickup at the Free Range Art Studio in 3-4 weeks!
Price includes: materials, instruction, glazing, and both firings!
