🎨 Arts & Crafts: Hand-Building Clay Workshops
Discover the ancient pottery-making technique of hand-building! In these workshops, you will learn to create forms without a pottery wheel, using only your hands, fingers, and simple tools. You'll learn the basics of pinch pottery, coil building, slabbing, and more.
Each workshop consists of two sessions. In the first session, you will learn and build your piece. In the second session, you will glaze and paint your creation. All instruction and materials are included.
