What to expect:
This class is an invitation to expand—both in scale and in approach. We’ll work with slump molds, slab construction, and coiling techniques to support and grow more complex forms. Emphasis is placed on understanding structure at a larger size, how to move clay with intention, and how your physical decisions begin to shape a more intuitive, personal language in your work.
Each session includes demonstrations, hands-on guidance, and supported work time. The studio environment is calm and intentionally held, allowing space to explore at your own pace while working through the challenges of scale.
This is a calm, intentionally held space designed to support focus, experimentation, and building confidence in your making process.
What’s Included:
6 lbs of clay, two colors available (additional clay available for purchase)
Dedicated shelf for your work
Curated selection of glazes
Bisque + glaze firings included (Large scale firing available for additional cost.)
Basic hand-building tools + shared studio materials
Open studio hours on available Satursdays

• Clean-up of your personal tools or workspace
