In this four-week course guided by Dianne Burger, you’ll embark on a transformative journey of self-expression through the malleable medium of clay. You’ll delve into the art of handbuilding, exploring traditional techniques working with clay slabs and coils to create functional or decorative pottery pieces.

Explore creativity through various surface treatments, including texture rollers, stamping, and carving, adding depth and character to your creations. The artistic exploration continues with a vibrant array of colorful glaze options to choose from.

Whether you arrive with a specific concept in mind or seek inspiration from the extensive collection of demo pieces, Dianne’s nurturing guidance will empower you to express yourself freely and confidently. All materials and tools will be provided, ensuring a seamless and engaging experience.

Embrace this transformative opportunity to immerse yourself in the tactile nature of clay, where each stroke, impression, and glaze application becomes a canvas for self-expression and personal growth. No previous experience is necessary – just bring your curiosity and a willingness to create!
