About the class

This course is for students interested in exploring both wheel throwing AND handbuilding, and the combination of both in one class! Learn from Hamley’s years of expertise in the field and enjoy creating handbuilt, thrown, and altered forms. Amy caters each syllabus closely to her group of students, ensuring that every project fits the desires of participants. 

This course will include demos, exercises, and utilize a variety of methods to achieve the desired goal for each student. Some projects may include wheel thrown vases with altered adornments, best practices for slump and hump molds, and more. 

Engage with every aspect of the ceramics process in this 8 week course with Amy!

When you register for a class, you’ll be offered three price tiers. The middle tier comes closest to what our registration fees used to be, and covers about 50% of the full cost of your participation in the class – with the other 50% covered by community donations. The first tier creates accessibility for people with limited income, while the third tier covers the full cost of participation – so that we can use community donations to support other people’s registration costs. When you choose to register at the third tier, you directly help support the Center’s efforts to remove financial barriers for others.
