Handbuilding Fundamentals with Bitsy Joy

  • Red Wing Arts 1920 Old W Main Street Red Wing, MN, 55066 United States (map)

In this six-week class students of all levels will create functional or sculptural forms by exploring the fundamental techniques of handbuilding. You will learn to use slabs, create coils, make pinch pots, and glaze your work to create virtually anything you can dream up. 

The class fee includes one 25-pound bag of clay, glazing materials, firings, and up to 18 hours of open studio time. Additional clay may be purchased. No outside clay will be fired.

Thanks to a generous donor, two scholarships are available for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ students with financial need. Red Wing Arts also has additional scholarships available for people with financial need. Please email cherish@redwingarts.org for information regarding scholarships.
