This four-week intermediate course is designed for students who already understand the basics of hand building and are ready to refine their work. Each week focuses on a category of objects, encouraging you to build with intention and create pieces that feel part of a collection.
We’ll dive deeper into proportion, scale, wall thicknesses, weight distribution, surface detail, and refinement. By the end of the session, you’ll have a small cohesive body of work that feels thoughtful, elevated, and distinctly your own.
May Theme: Objects for the Home
Week 1: Elevated Serveware
Footed platters, sculpted trays, and large slab forms. Focus on scale, clean edges, and structural integrity.
Week 2: Lidded Forms
Butter dishes, jewelry boxes, spice jars. Learn lid fitting, shrinkage considerations, and proportion.
Week 3: Sculptural Utility
Wall sconces with shelves or candle holders. Explore balance, thickness control, and visual weight.
Week 4: Advanced Surface + Glaze
Layered underglaze, resist techniques, and intentional glaze pairing.
This course is best suited for students who have completed a beginner session or have prior hand building experience.
