What You Will Learn?

  • The craft of ceramics is beautiful, but gathering the resources can make it tricky to get started. Enter: hand building!.
  • Join ceramicist Emily Reinhardt in her studio in Kansas City for a beautiful and informative 30-minute class on 3 different ways to make your own ceramic piece by hand (no pottery wheel required). Emily creates 3 dishes from start to finish, using a different building method, clay, and glaze for each — and then adding final painted details to give each piece a personal touch..
  • If you're curious about what pottery is all about, or just interested in making something beautiful, this class is for you. Throughout the lessons, Emily's work style reveals the simple yet wide breadth of ceramics possibilities, and you'll be sure to want to create your own piece!.
  • _______________.
  • Note: In this class, Emily primarily uses her own kiln to fire her pieces. If you are hand-building at home, please seek out a local ceramic studio with a kiln to fire and finish your work..
