Handbuilding

The Spring 2025 Semester will run from Monday March 31 through Sunday June 22, 2025.

In our handbuilding classes, you will explore a variety of techniques such as pinching, coiling, slab-building, and extruding. Create one-of-a-kind forms with our skilled instructors, who can guide both beginners through the basics and more advanced students through special projects. All handbuilding classes are beginner-friendly and open level. 

Tue PM is now Figurative Sculpture (see dropdown menu under 'Classes').

The cost of classes will be $715 plus tax. Classes meet once a week for 12 weeks. Students have access to 5 clay bodies, glazes, cone 6 and cone 10 firings, and equipment in the studio. Open studio time is 6am-10pm every day, and all time is booked in the studio. Firing fees are 3 cents per cubic inch. Tool kits can be purchased on the first day of class.
