Pottery – Sculpture (Introductory to Intermediate Level)
Date: September 25 – November 13, 2025 (Thursdays, 8 weeks)
Time: 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Instructor: Gord Rice
Fee: $195.62 plus HST (Members) | Fee: $223.00 plus HST (Non-Members)

We invite you to join Gord and learn his techniques and shortcuts for creating teapots with a distinctive human element. This hands-on experience will allow you to mold, sculpt, and decorate a unique ceramic piece under expert instruction. Hand building is a ceramics technique that enables the creation of forms using only your hands, without the need for a throwing wheel. Historically, before the invention of the wheel, this was the sole method for crafting both functional and artistic ceramic forms.

This workshop offers a wonderful opportunity to explore a traditional and expressive ceramic art form.

Class fees include the use of tools, equipment, firings and glazes. Students can purchase clay from the centre. ($35/bag)

Advance registration for members begins September 2

General registration for non-members begins September 15
