5 Easy Pieces
Winter Class | FULL
Let's try five basic handbuilding techniques: soft slab, hard slab, coil, pinch, drape. You can concentrate on your favorite or give yourself the chance to try them all.
Clay is not included in the supply fee. Clay purchased with your registration needs to be pick up in this semester. Clay purchases do not carry over from one semester to the next when purchased with the class. Clay can be purchased in the office as needed throughout the semester.
Students who wish to fire work in the soda kiln and are currently registered in a class that is not soda kiln specific can do so for an additional $20 fee per semester. You will be sent instructions with specifics for firing in the Soda Kiln at the beginning of the semester. Please call or stop by the office to sign up.
- Students should bring basic clay tools. You can wait until after the first class to purchase anything you might not have at home.
