HAND BUILDING
Hand building means shaping the clay by hand IIt is a very relaxing and mindful way of making pottery that offers plenty of room for creative expression. Once participants have mastered the basic techniques, they can use them to create the projects of their own choosing.
HAND BUILDING FOR BEGINNERS
Using the techniques from a beginner's hand building course, students can create a wide variety of objects, from miniatures to cups and bowls, or small and medium-sized decorative pieces such as vases, table lamp bases, or flowerpots.
Hand-building brings tranquility, is accessible, and is a very creative form of pottery.
Techniques: pinch pots, rollers, small slabs, glazing.
