9/29 - Pottery for Beginners: Hand-Building

Sunday, September 29, 2024
2:00 - 5:00 PM

The Local Hand
1912B Dorchester Ave,
Boston, MA 02124 

Learn a simple hand-building technique to create beautiful ceramic trays and shallow dishes. This class will also cover the basics of surface design using underglazes, stencils, transfers, and stamps.

Each participant will have the opportunity to make about 3-5 different pieces, depending on size.  All pieces will be bisque & glaze-fired by the instructor after the class and available for pick-up from The Local Hand about a month later.

We will get messy, but the clay is non-toxic and washes out easily. All glazes used are also non-toxic and food-safe. 

No experience is necessary! Open to teens and adults.

Your ticket price includes all supplies and light refreshments. All participants will also receive 10% off any shopping purchases at The Local Hand on the day of the workshop. 

About your Instructor: Lisa Graustein is a ceramicist, quilter and knitter living and working in Dorchester. She loves to play with color, line, and shape in her forms. Primarily a wheel-based potter, Lisa has recently started exploring hand-building and what can be created when thrown and hand-built forms are combined.

Workshop tickets are non-refundable, because we purchase all supplies ahead of time based on headcount.  Thank you for understanding.
