How Clay Hand Building Works

Step 1: Choose Your Clay

Select from a variety of high-quality clays to start your project. Each type offers unique properties and finishes.

Step 2: Shape Your Vision
Learn the techniques of hand building to shape and mold your clay into the desired form. Our instructors guide you every step of the way.

Step 3: Firing and Finishing
After shaping your piece, you'll choose a glaze, and it will be fired twice in our kiln—once for bisque and once for glaze. Your finished piece will be ready for pick-up in 3 weeks!
