In this 3-hour workshop, participants will design and build their own wall-mounted or freestanding 10″ shelf.
Participants will learn the basics of hand-building with clay using slab construction methods. This workshop will introduce a variety of surface design and carving techniques to create contrasting textures throughout the shelf.
Students are encouraged to create their own shelf profile, as long as the finished design fits within an 8″ × 10″ space.
This beginner-friendly workshop combines foundational basics with creative design exploration, allowing each participant to leave with a unique, one-of-a-kind piece for their one-of-a-kind treasures.
All materials provided. Spaces are limited.
