About This Activity
Learn different techniques for creating pottery, from handbuilt mugs to wheel-thrown bowls. Students will explore a variety of ceramics techniques including pinching pots, coil building vessels, constructing with slabs, and “throwing” clay on the potter’s wheel. Time permitting, we'll dive into more advanced sculpting techniques for altering our wares and creating nonfunctional pieces. Please note: All ceramics projects need to be fired in a pottery kiln and take 3-4 weeks before they are ready to be taken home. You will receive an email once pieces are ready for pickup. If you will no longer be in Telluride, domestic shipping options are available via a third party, Ship It, Copy It. If you have not made arrangements with our Ceramics Director, Ah Haa will discard ceramics projects 30 days after the end of a class. For those who need to have their pieces shipped domestically, please be sure to select this option during the registration process. The total cost for safely packaging and shipping your ceramics projects will be listed on the online registration page for each class. Take note that Ah Haa does not offer international shipping as a standard option.
