NZ$250.00

Intermediate Handbuilding Classes – Thursdays, 6:30pm–8:30pm (8-week course)
Tutor: Jenny Tutu

This 8-week programme runs 9 February – 5 April.

Designed for those with prior clay experience, that have already attended a Beginners Hand-Building class, this intermediate class builds on foundational handbuilding skills. Explore a range of techniques—including pinching, coiling, and slab building—while working on structured weekly projects that develop your confidence and creativity.

You’ll refine your understanding of the full ceramics process: making, joining, decorating, refining, bisque firing, glazing, and glaze firing.

A small amount of clay is provided, with additional clay available for purchase through the club.
