Clay is a material rich in history and possibilities for art making, and handbuilding pottery is the oldest use of the medium. The Crucible’s Ceramics Department offers a unique place to learn the different handbuilding pottery techniques of pinching, coiling, and slab rolling. Once you have experience with a few basic techniques, you can make your own functional tableware, vessels, sculpture, installations, and mixed media—the possibilities in ceramics are endless.
