2.5H Pottery Workshop on Hand-Building | Oldest Pottery Technique

Hand-building is one of the oldest pottery methods and involves creating pieces without a pottery wheel - simply using hands, fingers, and simple tools. The session focuses on pinching, coiling, and slab rolling methods to make your unique creations. Recommended age: 13+It is up to the parents' good judgement whether the workshop is suitable for their younger children.What to ExpectThe class begins with a short demonstration from the instructor on the different hand-building techniques (be punctual so you won't miss this!). Once you get a better understanding of what to do, you'll try it out for yourself. The instructor will go around to help and give tips on how to execute these techniques. Pro-tip: Come prepared with images of what you would like to make so that you spend more time on the wheel and less time planning!Collection of PiecesYou will get to keep one of your favourite pieces from this session. Each additional piece will cost $10 to keep (for the firing & handling). They will be available for collection after 8 weeks, as they require glazing with colour and 2 rounds of firing. If you wish to glaze your own wares, opt for the 2-lesson pottery bundle where you may return to the studio to glaze your work after the pieces have been fired once in the kiln. Time SlotsThere are slots available from Tuesday to Sunday. The class is sized to a maximum of 8 pax per lesson. Other NotesThis 2.5-hour class is suitable for those with little or no pottery experience, and individuals of 13 years & above. Individuals with special needs will be accompanied by a caregiver.
