Date Breakdown

This is a 3 week class which will provide instruction/demonstration to learn the skills for building a building a box, a ball and a topper. Each week the student will make the piece demonstrated in class and then they need to make a second piece before the next class on their own time. At the end of the three weeks, the student will have the components for a 5 piece table top totem.

Supplies required:

  • Clay of your choice (preferably a clay with grog such as Speckled Buff or Redstone)
  • Basic clay tools
  • Mat to work on
  • Slip to match clay body (bring plenty as we will be using quite a bit)
  • 45 degree angle cutter (we sell these in the club, purchase BEFORE the class)

    Instructor

    Norene Harmon

    I have been a member of the clay club since 2017. I love the wheel and have found great satisfaction in hand building. I am currently the chair as well as an instructor for Beginning Hand Building. My professional background was an Emergency Room RN and I retired after 36 years. I found crafting as a therapeutic outlet from an otherwise stressful life and now LOVE our club and community.
