Spend the post New Years bliss in the most wholesome way— crafting your very own ceramic homewares pieces!! Enjoy three days of making on the wheel, with some projects including an identical set of mugs, cups or bowls; coil & throw table lamps, salad bowls or large pot plants; slab & throw plates and platters and learn skills like throwing off the hump, attaching handles and decorative techniques like Mishima and Sgraffito.

Included in your three day making fest, you will be given a technical demo/lecture in the morning & potentially after lunch, and then have 2-4 hours to complete each project (with an additional unsupervised 2 hours after class). You will be throwing on batts, scaling up the amount of clay you can throw and exploring your own design ideals to craft pieces that look beautiful on their own and together!
