This course, inspired by foundational hand-building classes, is ideal for both beginners and those seeking to refine their skills.

Under Tanja's guidance, experienced participants can build on their knowledge, while newcomers learn three basic clay techniques: pinching, coiling, and slapping. Each week focuses on a different method, offering ample practice time and introducing various local clays. The course culminates in gaining basic hand-building skills for personal creations.

Firing and glazing of pieces are included, though drying time is required. Embrace the therapeutic, hands-on experience in a serene setting, and dress accordingly to manage potential clay stains. No prior experience is necessary.

Limited to 10 participants. $70 total per participant. Bookings close Monday, 4th August at 2pm. Book here: https://www.riverside.org.nz/single-post/foundational-clay-pottery-hand-building
