Pinch Pots: Mugs
About
A 90-minute handbuilding class where each student pinches, shapes and decorates two mugs, adding handles and other details, with no wheel involved; the studio glazes and fires them for pickup two to three weeks later. It is on Saturday, October 31 at 1 pm. Rain Ceramic has studios on Capitol Hill (1423 10th Ave, about five minutes from Capitol Hill Station on the 1 Line) and in Phinney Ridge, and the listing does not say which one hosts this session. Tickets are $75 per student.

New to pottery?
Most first classes are either a wheel taster, where you learn to centre clay and pull up a cylinder, or hand-building, where you shape a mug, dish or planter with pinch, coil and slab techniques.
- Wear clothes that can get muddy and keep nails short; rings and bracelets come off before the wheel.
- Expect two to three hours for a single session. Clay, tools and firing are almost always in the price; glazing sometimes costs extra.
- A one-time class is the cheap way to find out whether you want a five- or six-week course, which is where the wheel actually starts to click.
Taking it home: Not on the day. Pieces dry, are fired, glazed and fired again, so studios usually hold them for two to four weeks.
