Intermediate Hand-Building: Larger Coil Vessels (14+)

Intermediate Ceramic Handbuilding: Larger Coiled Vessels

Ages 14+

May 13-June 3
5:30-7:30pm

This class is ideally designed for students who have already taken a ceramics class and have some basics under their belt. However, beginners are welcome.

The focus of the class is on building larger ceramic works using coil building techniques. We will discuss larger scale coil building, surface decoration, and the logistics of how to finish these works. The students will complete at least two large coiled vessels during the time.

Please bring clothes you can get dirty, tie back long hair, and bring an apron or towel.

Students will have access to the studio during Open FAVA hours, outside of class, for the duration of their class.

scholarships & aid

FAVA reviews and considers all application for scholarship assistance. While we may not be able to provide a complete scholarship to all those who request it, we are committed to making our classes available to as many people as possible – regardless of individual financial circumstances. For this reason, it is important that all scholarship requests are received well in advance of the class starting date, so we may allocate our available funds accordingly. We may consider any of the following factors when determining eligibility for scholarships:

  • Annual family income
  • Individual or special circumstances
  • Whether the applicant qualifies for the National Free/Reduced Price School Lunch program
    (for students age 18 & younger)


**FAVA also encourages applicants to consider partial scholarship assistance, in which case the student only pays some portion of the class tuition.

All information will be kept confidential and will be used solely to determine the amount of scholarship assistance to be provided.
