Classes included in this deal:

Join No Crafts, a skilled QBIPOC ceramic artist, for a dynamic series of ceramic handbuilding workshops! This series is perfect for all skill levels, from beginners to experienced artists, and focuses on both structured projects or open studio time to explore your creativity.

The workshop series consists of two classes. You can attend one workshop for $35 or both for $60. For the first class, keep reading below! For the second class, check out Session 2: Advanced Handbuilding & Personal Projects.

Session 1: Introduction to Handbuilding Techniques will provide an overview of basic handbuilding techniques including pinch, coil, and slab building. Noni of No Crafts will demonstrate each technique and participants will have time to practice. You will create simple forms such as bowls, cups, and plates; decorate with an underglaze; and have time for an open discussion and Q&A with the instructor.

Participants will be able to pick up their finished piece after they have been fired twice and the instructor has applied a final layer of clear glaze; approximately 3-4 weeks.

All materials are included. Suitable for all levels. Participants are welcome to bring their own materials, though not expected.

To ensure willing participants have access to arts opportunities, please email Ahmri at info@otherwisestudios.com if you face financial barriers. Space permitting, we can provide complimentary admission.
