Handbuilding: all the clay fun, no wheel required 🙌⁠
⁠
Handbuilding is one of the most versatile ways to work with clay. Using your hands, a few siple tools, and techniques like pinching, coiling, slab building, sculpting, carving, and more, you can make everything from functional pottery to elaborate sculptures and wonderfully weird little creatures. It’s tactile, creative, and gives you SO much freedom to follow your own ideas.⁠
⁠
This fall, we have three handbuilding classes with three awesome instructors, depending on what kind of clay adventure you’re looking for:⁠
⁠
👹 5-Week Clay Creatures with Katya Reinhard Katya Reinhard⁠

Wednesdays, 10:30am–12:30pm⁠
A playful introduction to sculptural handbuilding centered around creating creatures, characters, and forms from your imagination. Katya brings a fun, creative approach that makes this a great place to loosen up, experiment, and see where the clay takes you.⁠
⁠
🏺 10-Week Handbuilding with Kiki Sieger ⁠

Thursdays, 6:30–9pm⁠
Our mixed-level option! Learn and build on core techniques like pinch, coil, and slab construction while exploring surface, form, glazing, and your own creative ideas. Kiki is patient, thoughtful, and wonderful at meeting students where they’re at, whether you’re brand new to clay or ready to expand your skills.⁠
⁠
✨ 10-Week Intermediate Handbuilding with Rin Noelle⁠
