6-Week Hand Building Workshop - Fall Session #1

Join us for a 6-week hand-building workshop taught by Alex Meltzer of Meltz Studio, where you'll discover the ancient art of crafting pottery without the wheel. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings from 6-8pm, and Alex will guide you through essential hand-building techniques like coil building, slab construction, and pinch pots.

In this workshop, you'll learn to create both functional and sculptural pieces using a variety of tools, including the slab roller, extruder, and molds. These foundational skills are perfect for those new to pottery or for wheel throwers looking to broaden their skillset. Your finished pieces will be carefully fired and ready for pickup 3-4 weeks after the session concludes.
