Clay Workshop For All Ages and Skill Levels
This workshop will introduce students to a range of approaches for working with clay!
We invite both beginners and experienced artists to join us for a series of professional workshops led by Instructors from Seeds of the League. Join us for a fun-filled clay adventure! Whether you’re a beginner or have worked with clay before, this workshop will introduce you to a variety of techniques and inspire you to create something uniquely your own.
Pinch pottery techniques are some of the oldest ways of making, with objects dating back over 20,000 years. It’s a deeply human process where handmaking, natural materials and aesthetic appreciation combine to create satisfying, ergonomic, utilitarian objects that make great gifts.
This 90-minute workshop will address the basics of pinching a vessel, slip and score techniques, rolling and adding coils for additional height, shaping, stamping, and trimming.
