Handbuilding and Ceramics Surface Design (Panchal)

We will teach you how to be successful while having fun in the process. This handbuilding class will give you an opportunity to work with clay as we explore the basic methods of construction which include pinch, coil and slab built creations as well as sculptural techniques.

You will also learn multiple decorating techniques which may include paper-resists, wax-inlay, wax resist, slip trailing, sgraffito and water etching which can be used on hand built or wheel thrown work.

This is an all-levels class and new students will have the opportunity to learn from the instructor as well as their fellow students.
