8 Weeks - Introduction to Handbuilding with our current Resident Artist, Julia Ambros - Monday, 7:00pm - 9:30pm

$450.00

Take a class with our current Resident Artist, Julia Ambros. Understand the basic methods of handbuilding ceramics. From functional pottery to sculptural objects, Julia will cover techniques such as pinch pots, coil pots, slab building, glazing. '

Students will also take part in loading their own work into the electric kilns as a group, gaining hands-on experience with the core principles of electric kiln operation. All kiln programming and firing will be managed by instructors or studio staff.

Included in the class: unlimited use of our studio clay (Standard 240G), access to all studio glazes, and shared studio tools.

Students pay $0.03 per cubic inch for each firing—bisque and glaze firings are charged separately for a total of $0.06 per cubic inch.

Please note that studio access outside of scheduled class time is not permitted. If you’d like additional time to work, we invite you to join our membership program, which offers 24/7 access.

Teaching Artist Bio:

Julia Inés Ambros is an artist & designer working primarily in ceramic, metal, and drawing. She was born in Athens, OH, raised in San Diego, CA, & now lives in Providence, RI. She received a BFA in Ceramics from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in 2025.

In her work, she is drawn to the processes of drafting and categorization, which manifest as rigid systems of construction–usually grids and exposed internal structures. More broadly, Julia searches for ways to turn structure into ornament, and experiments with subtraction and degradation as a form of addition.
