Hand Building Basics

Hand Building Basics

Instructor: Christina Bendo

Location: Sycamore Bdg, RM 7221 Tuition: 151.00

During this 5 week course we will cover the fundamentals of handbuilding with clay, no prior experience required!  Each week we will complete a different project based on a new technique.  Week one will cover pinch pots, including my unique technique for larger scale and sectioned serving dishes, in week two we will learn how the most ancient pots were made using coils, and weeks three and four will cover slab building using molds and templates.  During the course we will learn about the properties of clay and techniques for joining, refining, and surface patterning.  In week five we will learn to glaze and fire our work so it is colorful and food safe.

Cost includes one bag of clay, use of classroom glazes and kiln firing.  Tools are provided, but you are welcome to bring your own if preferred.
