Ready to get your hands dirty? Join Rose for this 4-week class and learn the fundamentals of hand-building with clay. No prior experience is necessary!
What You'll Learn
Week 1: We'll focus on the basics! You'll learn how to prepare clay, use essential tools, and apply different textures. This week is all about mastering the "how-to's" of clay before you start building.
Week 2: You'll create a soap dish, and you'll learn how to add a finished foot to the bottom.
Week 3: You'll create a Berry dish, learning how to cut holes and apply stencils.
Week 4: We'll focus on texturing and creating a lunch plate with a foot.
Week 5: We will hand-build a mug, adding 3D decorations and making a handle.
Week 6: Time to glaze! You'll learn the techniques for glazing and finish all your work from the previous weeks.
