Join us for a relaxed, supportive six-week class designed especially for adults aged 50 and up! In this handbuilding course, you'll explore foundational clay techniques including pinch, coil, and slab construction. Whether you're brand new to clay or returning after a long break, this class is a great way to build skills and enjoy creative time with others. Projects may include cups, bowls, vases, trays, and sculptural forms—tailored to your interests and pace.

This class is geared toward all levels of experience and all levels of mobility. We’ll take time to adapt techniques and tools to make sure everyone can work comfortably and confidently.

Included:

• All materials

• Bisque and glaze firings

• Instructor-led demonstrations and hands-on support

• Use of studio tools and equipment

Pickup Info:
Finished work will be ready approximately 3–4 weeks after the final class. Your instructor will email you when your pieces are ready for pickup. Please collect them within 4 weeks of notification—unclaimed work will be donated to Byrdie’s Free Pottery Box.
