About this course
In this course I cover some really fun, easy to make ceramic projects that are not normally covered in a typical multi-week ceramics class. And the best part is that all the projects can be done from the comfort of your home without the need of a potter's wheel! All you need is your clay, a space to work, and a few tools! Topics include making a pinched succulent planter, a painter's palette, spoons and scoops, a slab-built spoon rest, and a completely slab-built teapot! I also throw in a bonus video about throwing a spoon rest, for those of you who do have a potters wheel.
