About the Class

Discover the creative potential of clay in this hands-on class with local potter and educator Annelie Haberman. Students will learn foundational ceramic techniques such as slab and coil building, sculpting, texturing, slip trailing, and “scratch and attach” methods used by professional artists. With these skills, students can bring their own ideas to life—whether it’s functional pieces like mugs and bowls, decorative projects like flower tiles and luminaries, or sculptural creatures like dragons, wizards, and original characters. This class encourages imagination and individual expression while building confidence with clay through guided practice.
