Handbuilding for beginners

In 4 weeks we will guide you through the first steps in handbuilding. You will soon be making your first sculptures or functional objects to for example eat or drink from!

We love handbuilding and we think it is the best way to get acquainted with the material; clay. With the right techniques you are able to make smooth and aesthetically appealing shapes, and you are free to sculpt and go free form.

From the first class you will be taught a variety of handbuilding techniques. In the 2nd class you will start oin your own project and in class 3 you will work towards finishing at least one object. We will bisque fire that for you and in class 4 you will be able to glaze your own piece.

A maximum of 2 pieces is included in this course (with a max. of 2 litres of volume in total)

This class is taught by Isabelle Olson. Isabelle is an amazing ceramics artist and knows best how to create complex shapes. She is both skilled in handbuilding and wheel throwing. She won’t ask the same standards from you, but she will be able to help you with all technical and artistic questions.

Please ensure you are able to attend as many of the scheduled course dates as possible before you sign up. The courses are usually full, so we can’t move people between them.
