This class will start with the basics of slab construction: throwing, rolling, and compressing the slab. Students will explore soft and stiff slab constructs in both round and rectilinear formats. Projects may include trays, boxes, towers, cylinders, bowls, drinking vessels, and more. The class will also collect, discuss, and share objects and techniques that can be used to add unique surface textures to a slab construction.

  • All materials are provided. Each student receives 25 lbs of clay; additional clay is available for purchase.

He worked on the wheel for many years making bowls, cups, teapots and the lot, but the move to hand-building has been very rewarding and offering a set of challanges that combine both his architectual training and creative side in new and different ways newgeorgiaclaywork.com
