Event Overview

Time for some 'hand therapy'! Oh and meanwhile, make something cool. At Home!
Set up a work table and log on to Zoom for this weekly session. Pinch, coil and press the clay using hand-building techniques and useful tricks. Bring your own idea to the table, or try one from the inspiration book. Materials and firing included; we will do our best to smooth and take care of your creations so they look really awesome!

To participate, you will need to organize pick-up of clay from the studio in Lakeview (831 W. Wolfram). Guidance will be provided, for gathering tools and setting up your home work station.
Tickets are priced individually, so please register extra members of your household separately. Each ticket is good for 4 consecutive Wednesdays; single session tickets are not available, sorry.
Each class will run one hour; finished projects can be delivered to the studio for drying and firing. We will glaze your work for you; options will be provided. Everything will be ready for pick-up approximately 2-3 weeks after it is dropped off at the studio.

You: adventurous, good with your hands? Took a ceramics class once upon a time? Were you a childhood prodigy in play-dough? Sign up and make way for some fun, this is a great way to start the year!
