This is an introductory class, and will focus on the sculptural possibilities of hand building vessels. We will cover different hand building techniques and include a wheel demonstration. No experience expected. ALL welcome. COST: J $8000 (US $100) This session runs over one weekend for making and an optional follow up on the following Saturday for glazing.

Those with more experience who would like to work on their own are welcome, but please make special arrangements to discuss your focus beforehand and to come early - so that we can work before class on more advanced ideas and techniques before others arrive... interested teenagers also welcome.
We will supply all clay, tools, instruction, glaze, firing* and delivery of finished work to one central place in mo bay... [a home/business]
I suggest a pot luck lunch and some snacks. Once we have the list of students signed up, we can coordinate details.
Please spread the word for me. ~David... 886 2866
*FIRING - what I expect a beginner to make (about 300 cubic inches of kiln space) is included in the cost- that's about 6-10 small pieces. More advanced potters, or those who choose to make larger pieces, will be charged additional firing and materials cost calculated at J$2.2 per cubic inch of work over volume above.
- We offer on-going weekly classes and international workshops. Please check out the Weekly Classes and Workshops links for more information.
