Evenings & Workshops
Community Calendar
We’re introducing the community calendar for a clearer view of when workshops are scheduled. This should allow artists to reserve space.
Please be aware that most workshops and events are scheduled over multiple days to allow time for clay to dry and for kiln firing.
Ceramic Survey
This monthly survey is a 3 week workshop which takes place on Wednesday evenings from 7 pm to 9 pm.
Week One:
Ceramics, Hazards, Safety, Studio Practices, Types of Clay, Firing Techniques, Clay preparation, use and storage. Clay stages, plasticity and moisture.
Week Two:
Hand Building techniques, use of tools and alternatives, creating texture, refining.
Week Three:
Wheel Building techniques, turning tools and their use, how to throw, pull and shape.
Additional Studio Time:
Each attendee also receives 4 hours of studio time to practice and make additional work during the workshop. They also 10 pounds of clay*.
*Clay and time expire one week after the third workshop.
Date Nights: Double Date
Grab your partner or grab your best friend…. The two of you can enjoy an evening of creation with our Date Nights! series.
Date Nights are 2 night events that are spent building pottery together. The first night you’ll come by the studio and spend time with an instructor to build a seasonal project from clay. Then, two weeks later you’ll come back for a second night to sit down and glaze your new creations. When everything is completed, we’ll contact you to pick up your finalized work.
Two nights, two people, one price. Spend quality time together with us!
