Clay Sculpture Course

Embark on a creative journey with a ceramics sculpture series in San Francisco. Led by our talented instructor, Mareiwa, this series is perfect for beginners and aspiring handbuilders and sculptors eager to enhance their skills or build confidence in clay.

Throughout the workshop, you'll delve into the essentials of handbuilding and sculpting, mastering techniques in coil building, pinching, and slab construction. Mareiwa will provide expert guidance, creating a personalized and supportive learning environment for all participants.

Sculpting Adventures in Clay:

• Week 1: Sculpt and shape using the pinching and coiling method to create your first sculpture of the class series.
• Week 2: Dive deeper into sculpting as you discover the art of slab building, and master the use of the slab roller for future projects during open studio hours.
• Week 3: Unleash your creativity and combine various techniques during this open project time, where the instructor will assist each student.
• Week 4: Learn about glaze and underglaze and then apply those glazing techniques to all of your sculptural pieces.

Whether you're seeking a new hobby or rekindling an old passion, this class is perfect for individuals of all skill levels. Studio Sumi is a community of like-minded creatives, and our collective goal is to unwind in a friendly pottery studio and discover the joy of working with clay.
