Over the course of this 8-week beginner class, studio owner Anna-Kari Lejon will guide you through the fundamentals of hand-building in ceramics. Each week, you’ll create a new project while developing core skills and confidence working with clay.
We’ll begin with the basics—learning how to properly wedge and prepare clay—before moving on to using a slab roller to create a simple plate. From there, you’ll explore essential hand-building techniques such as slab construction and coiling, gradually building more complex forms.
Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to shape, join, and assemble clay into finished pieces, while also experimenting with a variety of surface treatments, glazing methods, and finishing techniques. By the end of the class, you’ll have a collection of unique, handmade objects and a solid foundation in ceramic hand-building.
Time: 9:30am-12
Duration: May 3-June 19
