Handbuilding: Slabs and Coils
About
A Wednesday-evening hand-building series with Debra on slab and coil construction, including the studio's slab templates, suited to beginners and to potters polishing their hand-building. It meets 6–8pm from November 4 to December 16 at Of the Earth Collective, 4800 Airport Way S #1 in Georgetown, with about six students per instructor. The $555 fee includes materials and firing, and a 50% deposit can hold a place.

How it compares
- After work
At $555, this sits toward the top of the 55 single-session pottery classes we list in Seattle. They run from $25 to $650, and the typical price is $95.
That works out to about $278 an hour for a 2-hour session.
If one session leaves you wanting more, 6 studios we list run multi-week pottery courses, from $140.
It starts after work, which only 40% of the pottery classes on our calendar do.

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.
