Workshop Description
Before the invention of the throwing wheel, potters created functional and artistic clay forms. In fact, one of the oldest known handbuilt clay artifacts dates to around 28,000 BCE. Be part of this incredible legacy as Karen Knight teaches you the handbuilding techniques of pinching, coiling and slab work in the creation of your own designs. This 4-week workshop takes place in a fun and relaxing environment where the creative possibilities are endless.
