Hand Built Pottery

It is one of the most stress relieving art forms. Three techniques will be taught: pinching the clay into bowl shapes, rolling clay coils and assembling them into hollow forms, and making flat clay slabs that are cut and assembled into a variety of objects. $25.00. All supplies included. Pre-register by text at 517-936-9108 or email us at jacksonmakerspace.net.
