Handle Library, ceramics
Adult Class | Registration opens 5/5/2026 9:00 AM MDT
Is the worst part of your mug making experience the handle? In this workshop, students receive a pre-made cylinder to attach multiple handles to. The idea is to try different styles of handles and get more comfortable with making and attaching handles. At the end of the session, all students will have a handle library that they can reference when working on future projects.
- This workshop does not provide students access to open studio.
Each class includes a standard weekly lab fee which covers the cost of firing. In addition to the standard lab fee, students will be charged a $15 fee which will cover the class clay as well as the cylinders which will be provided.
This workshop does not provide students access to open studio.
