In all of our hand-building workshops, students will work with their hands and studio tools to turn wet clay into a finished one-of-a-kind project. They will have fun and acquire new skills while learning the foundation techniques of hand building.  (An adult must attend with kids 3-5.  The adult will have fun too!)

Sample projects:

Book Ends ~ Kick off summer reading with the fabulous hand made book ends.

Candle Lantern ~ Build your own candle lantern with decorative holes to allow light to escape. 

Character Mask ~ Experiment with expressions to create a whimsical decorative face ready to hang on a wall.

Coil Plate and Mug ~ Make  a completely functional plate and mug the old way - dishwasher and food safe!  (Recommended for students 8+.)

"Filigree" Centerpiece ~ Create a magnificent centerpiece for your dining table from clay cutouts.

Soap/Toothbrush Holder ~ A unique variation from the usual. This is a very attractive functional project.  Also works as a great paintbrush holder and palette.

Wall Vase ~ Your final piece is ready to mount on a wall. Will hold water for real flowers.

Wind Chime ~ Similar to "You Name It", but create a wind chime instead.

"You Name It!" ~ Our most popular workshop!  Create ceramic letters to spell your name, your pet's name, "I Love Nana", etc. Assembled with fun-colored wire. These make great gifts too! Includes 8 letters and shapes. $2 each additional shape.
