Hand Building Ceramics Workshop

If you dream of making something out of clay with your hands, this class with Ceramic Social in Venice will teach you the fundamentals of hand building ceramics.

You will learn the basic methods of building ceramic pieces using pinch pots, coils, and slab building techniques. You will also learn about colored slips and glazing so your ceramic piece will not only be beautiful but will last forever.

Your teacher is Elizabeth Orleans, a passionate artist who loves sharing her knowledge. She will guide you through each step in a supportive class setting. Whether you have some experience working with clay or you are a complete beginner, this is the place where you can build your skills and your confidence.

All of the tools and supplies will be waiting for you in class. Relax as you roll and pinch clay and even sip wine. (Some snacks and drinks are provided but you are welcome to bring your own as well.) Once you are done building your pieces and they dry completely, your teacher will bisque fire, glaze and glaze fire your ceramics pieces so that you can come get your finished products at a later date.

At the end of your session, you'll expand your knowledge of hand building with clay and have your handmade pieces to enjoy.

Please note
You will pick up your completed ceramic piece once the glaze firing process is complete with takes about a month.
