Throughout this class, you will learn how to form shapes, join, and sculpt clay into your desired piece by using a variety of construction techniques. This class will allow you to make pieces such as coil, pinch or slab bowls or even jewellery, spoons and cups.
At the beginning of the class, the teacher will demonstrate the techniques and you will receive one on one guidance and assistance as needed.
