Private Handbuilding Lesson - 2 Hours
Not a group class, and not a set project. Two hours of handbuilding with a teacher who is there only for you, shaping something you’ll want to use at home.
About the experience
Handbuilding is clay at its most tactile. No wheel, nothing to keep up with. You work entirely with your hands, pinching, coiling, and rolling out slabs, building a form up slowly.
In a private session, the pace is yours. Arrive with a clear idea or just a feeling. Your teacher will help you find the shape: a set of cups, a platter, a vase, a planter, a bowl for the table. They stay beside you throughout, helping with the details, the texture, and the finish.
You leave with the feeling of having made something. The object follows a few weeks later, fired and ready to take home.
Class details
Duration: 2 hours
Who: Ages 12 and up. One person, or two. A second person is $75 more per session.
When: Monday to Friday, between 10am and 5pm. Sessions finish by 5pm. We’ll coordinate a time with your teacher.
Where: ATELIER Ceramic Studio, 753 NE 79th Street, Miami, FL 33138
Pickup: Two to three weeks after your last session. We’ll email you when your pieces are ready.
What’s included
Two hours of one-on-one time with your teacher. Up to four pounds of low-fire clay per session. Tools and an apron. Clear glaze and firing by our team. Help with cleanup at the end. You’ll rinse your own tools.
Sessions and packages
A single session is a good place to begin. Packages are for when you want to keep going. Choose four or eight sessions, once or twice a week, and we’ll set a standing time with your teacher. Use four sessions within eight weeks, and eight within twelve.
If you’d like to glaze in color, choose a package. One session becomes a glazing session, scheduled once your earlier pieces have been fired. Pieces made right before it are clear-glazed by our team. Without a glazing session, every session is for making.
Rescheduling
Plans change. Let us know at least 48 hours ahead and we’ll move your session. With less notice, the session is used.
