All these vessels will teach you the cornerstone techniques of coil handbuilding.

At the end of the workshop, you will have created your very own unique piece.

Some suggestions for you:
-
You may want to bring your own apron. You’re welcome to do this, but we do have one for you to use.
-
Wear clothes you don't mind getting splashed.
-
It's easier to throw if you have short fingernails - longer nails get in the way of your enjoyment!
