By focusing on a series of related forms, students who have had some experience in handbuilding can lean to move their work forward. Each piece gives us an opportunity to ask what is successful and what can be improved. Do we like the pots lift? What if we add a foot? Does the rim detract or enhance the form? What if the rim were off center? Our own pots can be our best teachers and by repeating a form we can improve our skills, make discoveries, and gain mastery of the material. Open to students who have had some handbuilding experience previously.

(In the event that BAC has to cancel a class session due to weather or facility emergencies, please note the pre-scheduled makeup date for this course will be Wednesday, August 17. More information on our policies for cancellations can be found HERE.)

Each student (age 14+) is required to have a current Proof of Vaccination Form on file with BAC. Please fill out and submit a form prior to the first day of your class.

Masks will be mandatory for this class with Paula Shalan at this time. Please review updated COVID Safety Plan HERE.
