This is a 2 hour (1 time) “try it out” class for Handbuilding for adults and children ( (5 and up with an adult).
Make a simple project and paint it with underglazes. You are free to make what you would like, provided it is well made technically(not too thick, not too thin, joined well) and fits the parameters of this 2 hour class and the materials provided. Your instructor will guide you.

Work takes 5-6 weeks to be fired so plan well ahead!
