HANDBUILDING FUNDAMENTALS Exploring Soft and Hard Slabs with Pierre Bounaud

Whether you’re brand-new to slab building or looking to strengthen your core techniques, this hands-on weekend workshop offers an immersive introduction to the possibilities of both soft and hard slabs.

Day One focuses on soft slabs—learn how to shape plates, serving dishes, bowls, and mugs using molds and templates that encourage fluidity and gentle curves.

Day Two shifts to hard slabs—build crisp geometric forms like cubes and polyhedrons, transforming them into structured pieces such as boxes, vases, or sculptural teapots.

$280 For both days (firing for up to 5 pieces included).​
