Clay Casitas

This class will explore the power of hand building with red rock Colorado clay . Students will explore many hand built techniques to build their very own Casita. These Casitas will dive into the imagination honoring the architecture of our ancestors and our own personal style of what we dream our own sanctuary would look like. Houses are universal in every culture ,we will dive into our own unique imprint and how to connect with the magic of clay.
