Hand Buidling / Hand Sculpting

Hand building or Hand Sculpting is a technique that allows you to create forms with clay and your hands, without using a wheel.

Think of it as sculpting. Using your hands and tools provided to make mugs, plates and such.

This is a great bonding activity for couples, friends and family vs. our wheel-throwing class because wheel is a bit more challenging and requires more focus. It's also great if you'd like to continue afterwards as it doesn't require buying expensive tools like a potter's wheel.

Wheel Throwing 101

Wheel throwing is a technique of shaping ceramics using a potter's wheel. 

At the end of this class you'll learn the basic fundamentals of wheel throwing: 

  • How to prepare your clay and your body position
  • How to center, open and pull a wall and make a vessel, these are the most important fundamentals of using a wheel  before you make other objects.

Using a wheel is challenging at first but it is also very fulfilling. That's why for this class, we focus on building your foundations before moving on to more complicated works. 

We recommend this class if: 

  • 1. You're a beginner who may not have a prior experience with the potter's wheel before but want to try if this is something you'd like to pursue. 
  • 2. Someone who may have had experience with the wheel  but have not been successful with the fundamentals which results in unsuccessful work. 


Mug Making

Make your own mug using the Hand building technique that allows you to create forms with clay and your hands, without using a wheel.

In this 2 hour session you can design and paint your own unique hand sculpted mug.

What is the difference of hand building class with mug-making class? 
In hand building class, you are not limited in just making mugs and you can make 2-3 pieces. In the mug-making class, you'll be able to make 1 mug only.


Private Pottery for 2

This price is for 2 people.

Bring your special someone to the most unique and memorable date you'll ever experience. This 3 hour private workshop is intimate and is a great bonding time where you'll use the wheel, sculpt and paint your pieces. 

What you'll experience: 
Private class for two where you'll learn 2 classes in 1: Handbuilding (the use of the hand to sculpt) and Wheel Throwing (the use of the potter's wheel).

 

4 Sessions for Beginners

We'll make sure you will understand what to do and why you're doing it.

After this workshop, you'll leave the class with a solid introduction to wheel throwing and handbuilding techniques.

FAQs

Why are pottery classes expensive?

We are a small independent business with a mission to make pottery accessible especially in the Philippines. Unfortunately, equipment and goods such as clay are not readily available here. Clay is imported from the US, Japan and thailand. Our wheels and kiln are top of the line which range from 60k to 500k in cost per wheel/kiln. We appreciate your support and we hope to continue to make prices accessible as we our community grows in Cebu.

Can kids do this class?

  • For wheel classes, we recommend kids 8 years old and above or minimum 4 feet tall 
  • For handbuilding classes, there is no age requirement
  • Children have a different price. Please go to this link to book
