Beyond the Wheel (42F25)

September 29–November 24, 2025
9 weeks, Mondays

Taught by: Christie Lundberg

Think beyond the wheel and discover the endless possibilities of hand-building with clay. In this imaginative, hands-on class, you’ll learn to create both functional and sculptural ceramic pieces using techniques like pinching, coiling, and slab-building. Explore forms that the wheel can’t create—build on a form, within a form, and beyond it. No prior clay experience is needed—your instructor will guide you through each step with approachable lessons and plenty of creative encouragement. Bring an old kitchen towel you don’t mind getting messy—it’s going to be a fun, muddy adventure!

Materials

Students will need to purchase clay for their use. Clay in different varieties is available at the Creative Workshop for $18.00 for a 25lb bag. Glazes and firing are included in the price of the class. Please bring an old kitchen-sized towel you don’t mind getting dirty with you.
