(Younger children should be accompanied) Even if you are experienced\, though\, this will still be a great class! \nJoin us on October 3 and 10 from 4 – 6  pm to make a bowl\, decorated with leaves!  This bowl\, which is about 10 inches wide\, and is oven and dishwasher safe\, microwavable and food safe. It is deep\, making it a good spaghetti bowl. If you don’t want to use leaves\, you could use any of the 20 rolling pins of the studio to make a texture. Pictured below is the mushroom rolling pin.  \nDuring this 2 day workshop you will be led through the steps to make your very own bowl.  The first day\, which will take about 1 hour\,  we will make the bowl. The bowl is made from a slab of clay\, molded\, and then finished on the wheel. Once the bowl is made\, you can finish it any way you want. A number of different methods of decorating  will be covered\, including use of texture\, or using leaves.   The focus will be on using leaves\,  though you can finish it as you like. The second scheduled day\, you will glaze the bowl. Two different methods of glazing will be covered – the first you wipe back the glaze\, highlighting the “fossil” left by the  leaf\, the second\, you can paint each individual leaf. Depending on which method you choose\, the second class could take an hour to 2 hours. Your plate will be ready for you to take home within 3 weeks of you finishing it.  \n \nThe workshop will take place October 3 and 10  from 4 – 6   pm.  \nThe class is limited to 6 people.  \nPrevious student work: \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\nI have been teaching pottery and ceramics in a variety of situations\, for all age groups\, for more than 40 years.

Use it to decorate your holiday table\, or add it as a focal point for a seasonal bouquet. \nYou will be provided with a slab of clay\, and a paper stencil. You will then trace around the stencil on the clay\, and then fold the clay up to make the ghost shape. The trick to this project is getting the clay fold to look like a draping sheet with gentle folds.  Cut out a face and it can be used as a luminaire.  \nFolding the clay up to make the ghost shape is a little bit tricky\, so it may not be an appropriate activity for the very young\, but I will leave it to you to decide what your child can do or can’t do.  \nThe cost is $15.  \nCome back in 2  weeks to glaze your ghost.  \nYour ghost will be ready for pick up  within 3 weeks from glazing. This is the project for Sunday 10/6. The drop in workshop is offered from 2  – 4 pm.  It will probably take you about half an hour to make the ghost. You can come any time between those hours – just plan on half an hour to make the ghost. A different project will be offered every weekend. Projects for the fall include pumpkins\, pine tree luminaires\, pine tree stands and other holiday oriented projects. Once glazed and fired the pots will be dishwasher safe\, microwaveable and oven proof.  \nHere is the schedule (subject to change) of Drop In Sunday’s going forward. \nPlease familiarize yourself with studio rules\n  URL:https://oldschoolclayandceramics.com/event/drop-in-sunday-make-a-ghost/ LOCATION:Old School Clay and Ceramics\, 145 Main St\, Groton\, Ma\, 01450 CATEGORIES:Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oldschoolclayandceramics.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/PXL_20230923_230727366.PORTRAIT-1-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Old School Clay and Ceramics":MAILTO:whistlewood1@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241013T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241013T160000 DTSTAMP:20260424T142552 CREATED:20240916T142712Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240918T132749Z UID:4672-1728828000-1728835200@oldschoolclayandceramics.com SUMMARY:Drop In Sunday - Crazy Cat Lady DESCRIPTION:My plan is to have this drop in suncday project completed for you in time to celebrate on November 5. \nFor this Sunday Drop In project\, you will make a jar with a cat – as pictured. You will be supplied with a slab of clay\, which you will wrap around a form to make the jar. A template\, in the s \ncrazy cat lady\nhape of a cat\, will be created\, on which you can base your cat. The cat will be attached to the jar – and you can use letter stamps to create a label with whatever words you desire. This project will likely take an hour to make. \nHopefully\, the jars will be bisque fired during the week\, and you can come back the next weekend to glaze. In the event that they are not ready\, they will definitely be ready 2 weeks later. There is no addironal charge for glazing. You will be notified when your jar is ready for pick up. \nOnce this is glazed\, I will update the picture \nHere is the schedule (subject to change) of Drop In Sunday’s going forward. \nPlease familiarize yourself with the studio rules.  URL:https://oldschoolclayandceramics.com/event/drop-in-sunday-crazy-cat-lady/ LOCATION:Old School Clay and Ceramics\, 145 Main St\, Groton\, Ma\, 01450 CATEGORIES:Workshop ORGANIZER;CN="Old School Clay and Ceramics":MAILTO:whistlewood1@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241020T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241020T160000 DTSTAMP:20260424T142552 CREATED:20241003T130823Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241003T131511Z UID:4784-1729432800-1729440000@oldschoolclayandceramics.com SUMMARY:Drop In Sunday - Make a Pumpkin DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, October 20\, we will be making ceramic pumpkins.

Add a star or bird on top\, or leave it plain.  \nFolding the clay up to make the cone shape is a little bit tricky\, so it may not be an appropriate activity for the very young\, but I will leave it to you to decide what your child can do or can’t do.

Three colors of green or white will be available for glazing\, or use our nearly full pallette of underglazes for color.  \nYour tree will be ready for pick up  within 3 weeks from glazing.
