This 5-session handbuilding course introduces ceramics through a slower, more tactile way of working with clay.

Without the wheel, forms are shaped gradually by hand, allowing students to experience the material directly through touch, pressure, and time.

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.

Designed for complete beginners, as well as those curious to explore a more process-led approach to making everyday wares

What you’ll experience

• Learning foundational handbuilding techniques such as pinching, coiling, and slab construction
• Understanding clay thickness, structure, and form stability
• Building functional forms including bowls, plates, and small vessels
• Refining surfaces and edges once the clay has set
• Glazing and finishing pieces for everyday use

Students typically complete 5-8 functional tableware pieces, depending on individual pace and approach.
