Hand building is how people first started to mold clay into beautiful objects, like plates, mugs, cups and even sculptures. If you want to learn pottery, then you must also learn how to hand build stuff. It is an important technique to master before you move on to other advanced techniques. Wheel throwing came much later, however, and is now the standard method of making pottery around the world. Therefore, learning it is an absolute must to learn if you are into pottery. Thankfully, you can learn the basics from classes offered by The Potter’s Wheel that ranked 3rd on the list of free or cheap pottery classes in NYC.
