Working with clay by hand, using only simple tools. Explore everything from hand-built pots and coiling to pinchpot and slab techniques.
In this class you will be introduced to clay as a material by Harriet Caslin. Through hand-building techniques we will explore the way clay behaves and how we can work with it. You will be able to test your abilities and we will fire your final piece in our kiln.
You will also be introduced to our space if you wish to become a Makerspace member.
