Hybrid Clay: Wheel & Hand-building
Adult Course | Registration opens 11/5/2025 10:00 AM MDT
Discover the best of both worlds in Hybrid Clay: Wheel + Hand-building, a dynamic ceramics class designed to expand your creative skill set. This course blends the precision of wheel throwing with the expressive versatility of handbuilding, allowing you to explore how these two foundational techniques can work together in surprising and inspiring ways. Students who wish to use the wheel should have prior experience and should be able to throw a one pound cylinder unassisted.
- Strongly suggested that students have the ability to throw a 1 to 2 pound pot to completion.
Clay:
Each class includes a materials fee which covers the cost of firing and glazing. In addition to this fee, students will need to purchase clay through the Registration Office at ASLD, which must be done in person. Clay costs are $20 for 25lbs of stoneware, $25 for 25lbs of porcelain. Please only purchase clay from ASLD, unless approved by the studio manager. No low-fire clays may be used at ASLD.
