Week 2: You'll create a soap dish, and you'll learn how to add a finished foot to the bottom.
Week 3: You'll create a Berry dish, learning how to cut holes and apply stencils.
Week 4: We'll focus on texturing and creating a lunch plate with a foot.
Week 5: We will hand-build a mug, adding 3D decorations and making a handle.
Week 6: Time to glaze! You'll learn the techniques for glazing and finish all your work from the previous weeks.
