Discover the art of hand building with clay and explore the expressive techniques for painting illustrations with ceramic underglaze. We’ll take a nature walk to gather inspiration from patterns around us, then return to the studio to craft hand-built mugs & small dish, and later paint with underglazes onto the mug & small dish. All materials, tools, and firing for one or two finished pieces are included.
