This class is intended to teach participants the foundations of hand-forming and surface decoration and introduce the background to kiln firing. Basic forming methods of slab, coil, hump and slump molds, altering and darting will be covered. Participants will decorate one of their pieces using colour transfer combined with sgraffito.

Projects such as plates, bowls, vases, tea cups, mugs, feet and handles are designed for beginner and intermediate-level makers.
