Sun. Independent Hand Building
Enjoy dedicated time to create, experiment, and build with clay during our Independent Handbuilding session. This open studio style session takes place at the same time as our pottery wheel class, but in a separate, adjoining space, allowing handbuilders to work independently while enjoying the creative energy of the studio.
The Independent Handbuilding session is designed for students who already have experience with clay. Participation requires completion of a clay class at LeMoyne. There is no dedicated instructor during Open Studio, but the instructor in the adjoining studio will be available for general guidance.
Your Independent Handbuilding time includes access to:
Wedging tables
Slab roller
Work tables
Handbuilding tools and studio supplies
Storage space for work in progress
Studio glazes
Firing for pieces created during Open Studio
This is an opportunity to work at your own pace, develop your skills, and bring your own ideas to life in a supportive studio environment. Please note that Independent Handbuilding is not an instructional class and does not include one-on-one or dedicated teaching.
Prerequisite: Completion of a clay class at LeMoyne.

I have been on my journey with pottery since 1992, making primarily wheel-thrown functional art with a wonderful feeling. Working with clay reminds me to slow down, be present, focus on details, and embrace the lessons the process offers. For me, pottery should always be fun, and sometimes my sense of humor is reflected in my pots. The pieces I make are meant to be handled and enjoyed as they bring beauty to daily life. For the past seven years, I have had the privilege of sharing this passion with others through teaching, an experience that has inspired and enriched my own creative process. While teaching the essential skills to make successful pots, I help each student navigate their own unique and artistic journey.
