Workshop: Handbuilding Ceramics 1/20 & 1/27, 10am: Hand-building Freestyle

Craft whatever inspires you in this two-day freestyle ceramics workshop. Build at your own pace and follow your curiosity—mugs, vases, platters, bowls, or something entirely new. Learn hand-building techniques for shaping, joining, and constructing forms that feel sturdy and intentional, with support on structure, scale, and bringing your ideas to life.

The second day is all about surface design: textures, carving, slip work, underglaze painting, and glazing options that let you explore color and style. Try pattern, illustration, minimal modern finishes, or bold layered surfaces—there’s space to experiment and discover what feels like yours.

Perfect for beginners and seasoned makers alike. All materials and firing included—just show up ready to play in clay and enjoy the creative flow. Leave with pieces that feel personal, meaningful, and uniquely handbuilt by you.

Location: Spring Art Studios, 1464 Spring Street SE, Building 200
