Class Details

 This intermediate class will focus on making a refined functional kitchen set from slabs of clay and developing your technical clay skills. 

You will make a mixing or serving bowl and a jar/pitcher set on a tray. These items will give you the chance to employ several different forming methods - push plate and hand forming slabs using a variety of molds. 

There is a focus on handbuilding skills such as: 

  • forming the pot
  • adding a gallery & lid
  • making and attaching a spout
  • making and attaching a handle
  • several foot treatments

We will also look at a few different surface decoration techniques. 

This class is suitable for people who have taken our Pottery 102: Handbuilding course, or those with prior experience of complex handbuilding projects.
