Altar / Memorial Hand-Building with Ursa Clay

ALL LEVELS WELCOME

Have a special moment or person captured on camera that you want to honor by making a special piece to hold it up? Sign up for this Altar/Memorial Hand-Building in Ceramics class, during which, you will be guided through all the different steps needed to shape the picture frame holder with your very own hands. Whether playing with clay has been a bucket-list item, or you want to try something new, this class is perfect for you to get things started with clay. No experience needed. YOU WILL GET MESSY!

Date: Saturday November 21, 2026

Time: 6PM to 8PM

Location: The Garcia Center for the Arts

Recommendations: Wear clothing you don’t mind getting messy; Shoes be closed toe; Avoid loose hanging sleeves; Remove hand jewelry; Maintain shorter nails; Age 10+

Note: This is a 2-hour pottery wheel lesson taught in a group setting. Each person will work with up to 2lbs of clay, and choose colors for their final piece. The instructor will guide you through the hand-building process, step by step, and give feedback to each person as needed. Hand-building can get delicate and small details often crack/chip/break, although much effort is made to ensure nothing falls off or cracks, it cannot be guaranteed.
