Heirloom Ceramic Studio

8 Week Beginner Handbuilding: The Infinite Kit (Saturdays 10am-1pm) March 8th - May 3rd (No Class April 26th) 

With Sara Hensel

For Beginner Makers

Learn the foundations of hand built pottery and other ceramic objects, no clay experience necessary!

Welcome to The Infinite Kit: Introduction to Handbuilding! This course is designed to offer an ocean of exposure to the tools and techniques of handbuilding with clay! Whether you’re clay-curious or deep in the sickness, this class will be a gentle and joyful space to nurture your practice! Students can expect foundational demonstrations (i.e. pinching, coiling, slabs, carving, glazing, using and designing simple molds) to be supplemented with idea development and technical troubleshooting. Oh, and we’ll aim to cultivate a sense of wonder and play while we’re at it! We have the freedom to explore so many forms– cups, mugs, bowls, plates, trays, vases, pitchers, planters, boxes…– the list goes on!

Each week will consist of instructor demos and personal making time. Students will also have full access to the studio during open hours for the duration of their 8 Week course (6am-2am All Days).

Shelf space and 25lbs of clay is provided to each student. Tools and other equipment are avaible at the studio for communal use.
