There is some good info in here, lot's of it in Babalu's thread, let me dig around and see what I can find for you. Your best bet is to take a beginning ceramics course there at the college. It will teach you the basic types of hand building like pinch pot, coiled form, soft slab, hard edge slab, etc. It will also get you going in the basics of joining pieces with slip, texture, glazes. Yes, it will take some time but it will save you endless hours in failed experimentation (I know :) )
