‘Discover Your Voice’
Spring Hand-Building Course with Boda Clay
$540
Billed in three installments over six weeks
This course offers a supportive, spacious introduction to hand-building with clay—an invitation to slow down and get to know both the material and yourself as a maker.
Together, we’ll explore foundational techniques like pinching, slab building, and surface design. You’ll be guided step by step—from gathering inspiration to planning and creating original work. Over time, you’ll notice what naturally draws you in and develop your own way of working.
Glazing and firing are included for all work made during class. You’ll also have access to open studio hours, so you can continue at your own pace.
Open to beginners and intermediate makers.
