Introduction to Slab Building: Creating Pottery with Forms with slump or hump molds
Available spots
Service Description
Participants will select a form, create a template, and learn how to roll out clay using either a slab roller or traditional hand-building techniques. Students will then assemble their pieces, adding handles, feet, and other finishing details to create unique functional or decorative pottery. To personalize their work, students will explore a variety of surface design techniques using texture rollers, stamps, and impressed patterns to embellish their clay creations. This class meets for two sessions, one week apart, allowing time for pieces to dry and be bisque fired. Students will then return approximately two weeks later for a glazing session to add color and finish to their pottery. This workshop is perfect for beginners looking to explore clay for the first time, as well as more experienced students who want to expand their hand building skills and experiment with slab construction techniques. Materials Add-On: Students will purchase a $30 Materials Add-On at registration. This includes up to 5 lbs. of clay, studio glazes, and bisque and glaze firings for class projects. *Oversized pieces or projects requiring additional kiln space may have an additional firing fee.

The Pottery Studio is a small, intimate, friendly studio where people make friends easily and build a community. If you would like to check out the studio before registering, send me an email to make an appointment! STUDIO GUIDELINES: NO OUTSIDE CLAY/GLAZES/or pottery made elsewhere. Please follow all cleanliness guidelines that are posted in studio. Silica dust is deadly, and there are good reasons for all the cleaning rules posted. This is one of the cleanest studios you will ever see. There are no dirty tools in buckets, YOU MUST LEAVE YOUR WORKSPACE/TABLES/BOARDS AND WHEELS CLEAN thanks! (cleaning is part of making and we will show you how!) Bring your own towels and apron if you choose and bring items HOME TO WASH BETWEEN CLASSES. Dry clay creates dust. Work wet and clean wet, do not let clay dry on tools, hands, tables, towels, floors etc. Clean up dust, clay lint, clay bits immediately. Arrive on time, class ends on time. There are no make ups for missed classes. If the instructor has to cancel, arrangements will be made to make up the time. Manage your expectations, pottery can be difficult ! I make every effort for you to succeed, but if you are after perfection, this is not the place for you. Things happen, pieces break, glaze fails, on and on.
