Handbuilding Classes
Beginner to Intermediate Winter series: 8 weeks, 1-3PM on Mondays - starting the week of January 11th
$305
Basic handbuilding classes cover the foundations of clay work. Pinch, coil, and slab techniques will be used to make functional items without the need for pottery wheels. Along with forming, different decorating techniques will be used like stamping, carving, glazing, and brushwork.
Price includes first 25lb. bag of clay, glazes, use of basic tools and firing. Additional clay can be purchased.
Classes are small (max 5) and each student will get plenty of personal attention. Open studio time where one can practice on the wheel is also included.
Stephen Palmer received his B.F.A. from Rhode Island College, and continued his study of sculpture in Italy at the Tuscan Renaissance Center. As a member of the South County Art Association in RI and now at City Clay, in Charlottesville, VA, Stephen continues to explore the many forms and functions of clay. Through teaching, he hopes to share and ignite the same passion and excitement in his students that he has for the ceramic form.
