Course Description
FULLY BOOKED! Waitlist: www.wheelhouseclaysf.com/waitlist. We will contact you when a spot opens up. Thank you! Join Giselle Hicks on a two-day hands-on workshop focusing on pinching and coiling techniques for creating vessels. This fundamental ceramic process is suitable for beginners, intermediate, and advanced makers, enabling participants to create functional or sculptural forms. Workshop Dates: Saturday, April 12 + Sunday, April 13, 2025, 10am - 3pm Giselle will provide an overview of her process at the start and will guide us through creating seamless transitions and angled designs. Between demos, participants will have time to practice the techniques with one-on-one guidance from Giselle. A great opportunity to learn from a master with 26 years of experience in clay and form! We are so honored to have Giselle share her wisdom and expertise at Wheelhouse. =) Each student can fire up to two vessels in this workshop. Additional work can be fired for a fee for non-members. Once bisqued, you can come back and glaze your pieces which we will fire for you up to cone 5/6 (we will let you know when they are ready via email). Students are welcome to have their pieces bisque fired and can later pick up to glaze and fire in their own studios. Student Materials List: - Your own Banding wheel (studio has very limited supply) - X-acto knife or sharp knife (not a fettling knife) - A rubber rib or two - A fork or preferred scoring tool - Sketchbook + sketches you might have for ideas (highly recommend) CANCELLATION POLICY: Cancellations can be honored with a full refund 14 days prior to the class start date with a $80 processing fee.
