Pottery for Beginners- Hand building
Thank you so much for taking an interest in our Pottery for Beginners course, please keep in mind that our class is kept intimate and fills up fast so be quick to enroll.
This 6 weeks course Tali Cohen Flantz from KERAMIKA will allow you to learn fundamental techniques in hand building and introduction to wheelwork. Both of these creative processes are beautiful and quite different in nature. In this course, you will be able to have a “taste” of both worlds and finish your own handmade pieces.
For those of you who are continually learning it’s a great opportunity to try something new or continue on your own path of interest, there is so much to explore and try.
