Handbuilding 01 (August Weekend)

Hand building is one of the oldest techniques of ceramic art. This particularly versatile method helps one to get a thorough understanding of how clay molds into different forms and shapes.

This beginner ceramic hand building course is designed for you to build a good foundation fundamental in techniques like Pinching, Coiling & Slab work.

This is a 11 session course, spread over 4 weeks, of 3 hours per session out of which 8 sessions are instructor led and remaining 3 open studio sessions are practice sessions. We can accommodate only 8 students per ceramic hand building batch.  Hence the registration will be on a first come first serve basis.

10am-1pm : August: 6^th, 7^th, 20^th, 21^st, 27^th, 28^th

10am-5pm : September: 3^rd and 4^th 

2pm-5pm : September: 10^th 

NOTE: Please go through the dates, time and the respective days of the course sessions as not all sessions are being conducted on all Saturdays and Sundays.

You will be working with cone 6 stoneware clay that is manufactured in house and is also used by professional ceramic artists. The class fee includes firing and supplies. As part of supplies you will be given 10kgs of stoneware clay, an apron and a set of basic pottery tools which is to be used during the sessions.

Only a few pieces selected by the instructor will be eligible for firing.
