This class is perfect for first-time potters. You will learn the basics of making a mug from a flat piece of clay. We will also explore texture as it pertains to form and function.
Using the technique of coiling on a mold we will make a bowl. Coil pottery is a method of hand building pottery where a potter forms a base, walls, and style by combining clay coils. The potter rolls the clay into coils, stacks the coils together, and joins the coils through pressure creating a vessel.

Step-by-step, Raffaela will show you how to shape a ball of clay, and she'll include inspirational tips on creating a one-of-a-kind ceramic creation. Following the demonstration, you'll have the opportunity to make two of your pieces to bring home.

The Grand Bazaar NYC (originally GreenFlea Market) was launched by a group of parents as a simple yard sale to raise funds for their children’s schools in 1982, making it the oldest (flea) market in New York City.
Today, we’re the only purpose-driven market that donates 100% of its profits to four public schools, funding arts, enrichment, and classroom essentials for over 2,000 children. The Parent Associations of P.S. 87, The Computer School, P.S. 334 Anderson School, and M.S. 247 Dual Language Middle School are the Grand Bazaar’s custodians.
In 2016 the market changed its name to “Grand Bazaar NYC” to better reflect its diverse offerings, and to set a new and exciting path forward.
Today, Grand Bazaar NYC is the oldest, largest, and most diverse curated weekly market in New York City. It’s purpose-driven providing much needed affordable retail space to local independent artists, designers, craft-makers, vintage and antique dealers, and artisanal food entrepreneurs, while passing on 100% of its profits to four local public schools, benefitting over 2,000 children. The Bazaar is open all year-round, with over 43,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, and during peak season over 200 vendors set-up shop.
