Handbuilding with Frankie J. Mixon

Handbuilding is the earliest forming method of pottery. Wares can be constructed by hand from coils of clay, combining flat slabs of clay, or pinching solid balls of clay. This 4-week series is designed for adults that have no prior experience. Students will learn basic handbuilding techniques and surface treatments to work created.
