ABOUT THE PROJECT: 3D Clock
Come join us for a fun clock-building workshop and make your very own 3 dimensional free-standing or wall-hanging functioning clock!

Hand building a functional three dimensional object like a clock involves careful designing and planning. Kevin will guide you through the tools and techniques you will need to create and execute your own ceramic clock, including how to design and construct templates to help aide in construction. Also learn to accurately bevel and attach corners cleanly and how to integrate the clock mechanism into your design.
