Handbuilding Pottery is a Skill Anyone Can Learn!


Maybe you’ve wondered, “Can I do that?” 
Or maybe it’s been a while since you made something with clay.

 Here’s a secret: pottery isn’t about being perfect. 
 It starts with a little curiosity and a lot of practice. 

When we put in the effort, notice the little details, and let ourselves have fun with clay, that’s when the magic happens.  Just bring your willingness to explore, observe, and trust the process as it unfolds with practice.

In this course, I’ll be your pottery guide, walking you through the basics of handbuilding pottery and helping you create pieces both big and small while working to develop your ceramic skills.

This is your invitation to start, enjoy the moment, and discover the joy of making something with your own hands.

This course is designed for ceramic lovers of all levels, from complete beginners to those who’ve tried before but want to improve their skills. You’ll learn from pinch pots, to mugs, boxes and much more! I'll take you step by step till the finish line: glazing!

Let’s start your ceramics journey together, one step at a time.

You don’t need all the fancy equipment to join!


Don’t have a big studio, a wheel, or a kiln? No problem!

The techniques that we will work through together can be applied to air-dry and oven-dry clay to create awesome decorative and non-foodware ceramics. I’ll also teach you how to set up a simple home hand-building studio and share tips for how to locate a local kiln or studio that you can fire your work at if you want!

Hi, I am Benjamin!


I got hooked on making ceramics back in high school and started working in a 
professional studio not long after. Since then, I’ve been all about creating custom ceramic installations, carved sculptures, and  functional pottery.

I am celebrating 10 YEARS of teaching ceramics and helping artists at all levels get inspired to create things they didn't think possible.

My art is all about exploring, having fun, and finding joy in the process because creating should feel exciting, not intimidating! 

In my course, I will help make handbuilding ceramics fun, easy, and beginner-friendly.
