Class Description

Description

Almost anything made on the wheel can be handbuilt but without the steep and physically demanding learning curve of the wheel. In this class we will learn how to make functional bowls, cups, plates, vases, and other goodies by utilizing many different hand building techniques. All stages of the ceramic process will be covered including building, finishing, and glazing. This class is great for students with physical limitations and or beginners who want to create pottery quickly.

School Notes:
Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan, while we are a Jewish community center, nothing about our art classes are religious and all are welcome in our building at all times.
