Hand-Building Clay Class for Adults!
Sundays • 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM
March – April 2023. 6 sessions.
Join Figment Creative Labs for an adult clay hand-building class with Mary Helen, co-owner of Sister Moon Ceramics and founder of ATX Kiln Club! We will be meeting on Sundays 11 am – 2 pm for 6-weeks starting March 5th and running through April 16th (we will not be meeting for Easter Sunday). This introductory hand-building class is perfect for folks who are curious about working with clay. Hand built projects can be made without special tools or large pieces of equipment, so the skills learned in this class can be carried on at home or in future art classes. We will work on a series of fundamental hand-building techniques including pinching, coiling, slabs, sculpture, and using plaster molds. Work will be glazed by students and fired in-house at Figment. Necessary tools provided and materials are included in the $40 supply fee. Please note that this class does not include time on a pottery wheel.
