This class is for students who are familiar with the basic handbuilding methods of coil, pinch, and slab construction and would like to advance their technique in these areas. During this 6 week course, students will be encouraged to narrow their focus and work on a cohesive series. Individual attention and group discussions of design elements along with observation of historical and contemporary ceramics will help to guide students towards developing a strong personal style. While ideal for those with some experience, all levels of students are welcome and all will be guided at their level.

Office Hour sessions to meet with the instructor independently outside of class time are available. (Office Hours: one half-hour session per student is included with tuition -- details on how to schedule TBA upon registration)

(In the event that IS183 has to cancel a class session due to health-related emergencies, please note the pre-scheduled makeup date for this course will be Wednesday, April 13. 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 IS183. Please fill out and submit a form prior to the first day of your class.
