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!
