Slow down. Get your hands in the clay.
Join us for five weeks of hand building ceramics at VIA Studio, where you'll learn the fundamental techniques that have shaped pottery for thousands of years — pinch, coil, and slab — before designing and building a form entirely your own.
What you'll explore:
Pinch — the oldest technique in the book, and the most intimate way to shape clay
Coil — building up, layer by layer, into vessels of any size or shape
Slab — rolling, cutting, and constructing clean-lined, architectural forms
Your own form — bring together everything you've learned to create a piece that's entirely yours
Glaze & fire — finish your work with glazing techniques and see it through to a completed, fired piece
Everything included — clay, tools, glazes, and firing. Just bring yourself.
If you do happen to want extra clay, we can provide for an extra fee.
