Clay Sculpture and Hand Building

What you'll do

Whether you're looking for a new hobby or want to reignite and old passion, this introductory hand building course in San Francisco is perfect for first-time potters or those who need a refresher!

The primary emphasis of this course will be establishing a good understanding of the fundamentals of hand-building and learning to get comfortable with the craft. Throughout the classes, you will learn the basics of hand-building, an overview of clay, and various techniques like pinch pots, coil building, slabs, surface decoration, and glazing. Each set of techniques will build off the previous class but is simplified enough to jump right into it if it's your first class.

We will work on one new beginner-intermediate project per week. You'll leave with at least four pieces of handmade ceramics by the end of the pottery course!

Schedule

Week One: Vase + Gratitude Bowl with Pinch Pots
Week Two: Planter with Coil Building + Extruder
Week Three: Candle Holder or Free Form Design with Combining Techniques and going over Surface Design
Week Four: Incense Holder with Floral Printing and Slab Building

In the summer of 2009 Artillery AG blossomed in the Mission district of San Francisco. Founders Iván Lopez and Alexa Treviño set out to establish a creative gallery and studio that would embody Nature, Familia, and Cultura.

Artillery AG is home to many art forms that we are able to connect with. Creating with clay, earth, paint, and photography.

With clay and flora, we are able to honor our Pachamama. We connect with our earth each time we mold clay and tend to our plantitas. Giving thanks to the Ohlone people for allowing us to be on their land.

Through photography, we reflect on the times and also our ancestors in each moment. Reminding us of the beauty we have within ourselves and that of our community, immortalized with light.

Painting is an act of resistance. You can see the stories of our people painted on the walls of the Mission. Each color expressing our vibrant cultura. Art is the universal language so powerful we can understand each other with just a brushstroke.

At Artillery AG we prioritize being a safe space for our QT and BIPOC Community. We will not accept hate in our space.

We welcome you to join our creative familia.

Art is good for you homie!
