Hand building is a freeform, meditative process and you'll be able to use your skills to create a variety of objects like teacups, vases, bowls, and planters.
In this class, you will learn how to use two or more clay bodies to create a marbled effect. The class will cover carving techniques and ways to create beautifully organic surface textures.
Participants are taught how to use a form to create larger cylinders, how to alter these forms using darts, and how to use these as the basis to make things like pitchers and vases. Some experience recommended.
This class is all about ways to decorate the forms you have created. Your artist instructor will demonstrate the different ways to use underglaze, as well as Mishima (clay inlay), and slip trailing.
