    Through this 6-week intermediate hand-building course, students will deepen their knowledge of clay through presentation on pottery terminology, technical processes,  and hands-on projects and activities. 

    Topics covered include types of clay and when to use them, clay harvesting and production, cones (what are they?), slump and hump molds, intermediate surface decoration techniques (mishima, slip marbeling, etc.), and hand-building functional ware. 

    The skills acquired in this course will serve as a continuation of your hand-building foundation on which you may take more advanced classes and/or learn in open studio time. 

    Come ready to get messy. Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty; don't worry about clay on your clothes - it washes right off! Most importantly, come ready to have fun!

    Resin 3D Printing

    In this class, we’ll walk through the ins and outs of the ever-popular Resin 3D Printing. You’ll get a hands-on introduction to resin 3D printing using Anycubic Photon printers, along with the basics of printer operation and post-processing, including washing and curing your prints.

    If you’ve used filament (FDM) printers before, the workflow will feel familiar, just a bit messier.

    We’ll also go over basic resin safety and cleanup best practices so you feel comfortable working with the materials. Resin printing can get a bit smelly, so bringing a mask is a good idea.

    If you’re completely new to 3D printing, we suggest starting with the 3D Printing Lab orientation and beginner class, which focuses on filament printing using Prusa printers. The Intermediate Filament class builds on that and covers printing on Bambu Lab printers. That said, you do not need to take either of these classes to attend this resin class. If resin printing is what you’re interested in, feel free to jump right in and register.

    We also offer a 3D scanning class, which can be taken on an ad hoc basis if you’re interested in learning scanning alongside printing.

    Not sure if this class is right for you? Reach out to us at 3d@tcmaker.org, and we’re happy to help.

    A joint event hosted by the blacksmith and metal shops, we are welcoming metalworkers, welders, and smiths of all experience levels to join us for a community night. Bring your problem projects to solve, something to show off, or even just some drinks and chips!

    Please note that this isn't a class, and there will be no specific project, but what we will have is a room with experienced people from both shops that can provide guidance on anything that you might be struggling with. If you're inexperienced and just want to get more familiar with the shops and tools we can give beginner project ideas and your metal will be covered by the signup fee. 

    Additional notes for attendees:

    • Bring safety gear. Eyes and ears are mandatory. TCM has some loaner pairs, but the only way to guarantee PPE is to bring your own.

    Women and Femmes in the Woodshop is a welcoming, supportive shop night created for women and femme-identified woodworkers of all skill levels. Whether you’re brand new to woodworking or a seasoned craftsperson, this is a space to learn, build confidence, share knowledge, and make things together in an environment centered on mutual respect and encouragement. Molly will be coordinating and bringing her 20+ years of woodworking experience. This is a great night to become more comfortable on the tools in a low pressure and supportive environment.

    This affinity group is open to all women and folks who identify as femmes. By setting aside this time and space, we aim to make the woodshop more accessible and comfortable, helping more people feel at home working with tools and materials. We also thank our members who are not women or femmes for respecting this dedicated night and for supporting our shared goal of a more inclusive, equitable woodworking community.

    Questions or trouble signing up for this class? Email ceramics@tcmaker.org.


    NOTE: *This class is required for ceramics studio members who do not pass or do not attempt the hand-building sign-off. Members must either pass the hand-building sign off or take the 101 course to hand-build in our studio. Thank you!*


    Questions or trouble signing up for this class? Email ceramics@tcmaker.org.


    Through the 6-week hand-building ceramics class (101 series), students will learn the fundamentals of working with clay including knowledge and understanding of pinch, slab, coil techniques, and surface decoration. Students will also understand clay properties, how to prevent cracked work, and the proper techniques to glaze application for firing. 


    The skills acquired in this course will serve as the hand-building foundation on which you may take more advanced classes and/or learn in open studio time. 

    Come ready to get messy. Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty; don't worry about clay on your clothes - it washes right off! Most importantly, come ready to have fun!
