Handbuilding
Workshop

Handbuilding is one of the oldest techniques of making ceramics: it is about reconnecting with your hands as the main tool. Once you learn how to, you will discover that only a few wooden tools (besides your hands) will be needed to create a simple vase. 

​

During this 2 hrs workshop you will learn the basics of working with pinching and coiling to make a vase, enjoying an intuitive and meditative process. I will take care of slow drying and firing your work (small size work firing included in the price/ bigger size firing for a small extra fee).

​

In 2018 I had the opportunity to join a community of women on the Rif mountains in Marocco, to learn how to make fully hand built vases: this experience was a milestone for me to understand how much hands can do. In this workshop I will teach you all the tips&tricks I learned.

​

All levels welcome: beginner or experienced, wherever you are in your pottery journey I will be happy to teach you the needed skills (*if you have experience you will probably manage to make a bigger or more intricate piece, if not, a small vase will be a double start :)

​

The great thing of hand building is that once you have this knowledge, you can easily continue practice and create at home since it does not require a pottery wheel.
