This 10-session handbuilding course allows students to work more slowly and deeply, developing confidence in building functional forms by hand.

With more time, students are encouraged to explore how structure, surface, and proportion affect both use and experience. The course supports repetition, refinement, and thoughtful decision-making, resulting in wares that feel grounded, tactile, and meant for daily life.

The course focuses on creating functional tableware while developing an understanding of structure, balance, and surface. Subtle variations and marks of the hand are embraced, giving each piece a sense of warmth and individuality.

Suitable for beginners seeking a slower pace, as well as those continuing from the 5-session Handbuilding Course.

What you’ll experience

• Developing confidence in pinch, coil, and slab techniques
• Planning and constructing more complex or larger functional forms
• Combining different handbuilding methods within a single piece
• Exploring surface texture, carving, and subtle decorative approaches
• Glazing and finishing handbuilt wares for everyday use
  

What you’ll make
Students typically complete 8–10 functional tableware pieces, including cups, bowls, mugs, plates and pouring forms. (depending on scale & complexity)
