POT 05 - Beginning Handbuilding (Gould)

The combined event description encompasses a variety of engaging pottery classes designed for different skill levels.

**POT 05 - Beginning Handbuilding** and **POT 06 - Intermediate Handbuilding** provide students with opportunities to master handbuilding techniques, where they learn to create ceramic forms without a potter's wheel. The courses emphasize safety procedures in the ceramics studio and include a tuition fee that features a $98 supply fee for clay, glazes, and firing space, while students must provide their own tools. Participants are encouraged to develop their creativity through small to large functional works and sculptural ideas.

**POT 17 - Altered Pottery (Intermediate Level Wheel)** by Klapthor focuses on wheel throwing techniques tailored for those at the intermediate level. This class covers the fundamentals of throwing, glazing, and firing, allowing students to design small forms like cups and bowls. Similar to the handbuilding classes, the tuition includes a $98 supply fee and emphasizes the importance of creating work within the Pottery Program studios.

Overall, these pottery classes nurture artistic growth and technical proficiency in ceramics through hands-on experience, fostering both individual expression and collaborative creativity.
