Handbuilding 3: Refining Form and Surface

November 11, 2024

Handbuilding III is designed for intermediate to advanced level students who want to hone their skills, learn a variety of creative handbuilding techniques, and build on their surface design abilities. Projects will encourage students to focus on craftsmanship and explore the relationship between form + surface. Students will be asked to explore their own ideas, take risks, and push their skills. Demonstrations and discussions will focus on elevating craftsmanship through thoughtful examination of one’s work along with attention to detail. Practice time outside of class is strongly suggested to finish class projects. Class fee includes one 25 lb. bag of clay.
