This course is for intermediate to advanced students, who aspire to master the art of hand building. You will delve deeper into advanced hand building techniques, with one on one guidance and valuable insights to elevate your individual projects and skills to the next level.

Our teacher Alexander Mamas, who trained at the National Art School in Sydney, brings his own unique blend of creativity and expertise to the classroom, ensuring a dynamic and enriching learning experience for all.

Alexander has been working in clay for over a decade and has a passion for the fundamentals of the craft. Woven into his practice is a slow and compassionate approach to teaching. With a strong foundational knowledge that will assist any student’s technical questions, he takes care when approaching student needs with empathy and understanding. 

Inclusions: Price includes $100 materials fee to cover the cost of clay, glaze and firing services. In order to reduce our studio’s environmental impact, all courses include 15kg of reclaimed clay, firing and glazing. Adult students must have their own tools. Starter tool kits can be purchased on the first day of class at the studio for $25/kit (plus GST). If you use more than 15kg of clay ( by utilising studio time) you can purchase clay from the studio and pay for firing and glazing at studio rates.
