Hand Built Ceramic Holiday Ornaments at The Art Studio
This is a technique-led afternoon built around a defined project: participants will use three hand-building approaches to make 8–10 holiday ornaments and finish them with glaze.
Three approaches, one seasonal project
The class introduces slab construction, coiling and pinching as ways to shape clay. Participants will use those approaches to form 8–10 ornaments, then add color with glaze.
That combination makes the workshop a chance to try several hand-building methods within a single project, rather than focusing on just one ornament shape or construction technique.
