Use it to decorate your holiday table\, mantle\, 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 can add texture using any one of the more than 20 rolling pins in the studio. You will then trace around the stencil on the clay\, and then fold the clay up to make the cone shape.  Cut out holes  and it can be used as a luminaire. 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. (It is basically the same process that was used to make the ghost) \nThe cost is $15.  \nCome back in 2  weeks to glaze your tree. 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. This is the project for Sunday 11/2. The drop in workshop is offered from 2  – 4 pm.  It will probably take you about half an hour to make the tree. You can come any time between those hours – just plan on half an hour to make the tree. A different project will be offered every weekend. Projects for the fall include pumpkins\, tree luminaires\, pine tree stands and other holiday oriented projects. Once glazed and fired the pots will be dishwasher safe\, microwaveable and oven proof.  \nClick here to reserve your seat\nPlease familiarize yourself with studio rules\n  URL:https://oldschoolclayandceramics.com/event/drop-in-sunday-tree-luminaire/ LOCATION:Old School Clay and Ceramics\, 145 Main St\, Groton\, Ma\, 01450 CATEGORIES:Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oldschoolclayandceramics.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/00100lrPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20211014123708455_COVER-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Old School Clay and Ceramics":MAILTO:whistlewood1@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251107T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251107T200000 DTSTAMP:20260423T183341 CREATED:20250929T143358Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250929T143829Z UID:7511-1762538400-1762545600@oldschoolclayandceramics.com SUMMARY:Make A Spaghetti Bowl - November DESCRIPTION:This is a beginner class – no experience needed!  All ages over 12 years welcome! (Younger children should be accompanied) Even if you are experienced\, though\, this will still be a great class! \nJoin us on November 7 and 14 from 6 – 8 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 November 7 and 14 from 6 – 8 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.

The luminaires are made using the same process as that of the ghosts and trees. 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 can add texture using any one of the more than 20 rolling pins in the studio. You will then trace around the stencil on the clay\, and then fold the clay up to make the cone shape.  Cut out holes  and it can be used as a luminaire. Add a nose\, boots and beard\, and any other decoration you think appropriate.  \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. (It is basically the same process that was used to make the ghost) \nThe cost is $15.  \nCome back in 2  weeks to glaze your gnome. Use our nearly full pallette of underglazes to paint your gnome\, and a clear glaze on top to make it shine. Or\, you can take the bisqued piece home and paint with your own acrylic paints.  \nYour gnome will be ready for pick up  within 3 weeks from glazing. This is the project for Sunday 11/10. The drop in workshop is offered from 2  – 4 pm.  It will probably take you about an hour to make the gnome. You can come any time between those hours – just plan on for  an hour to make the gnome.

Working with a prepared  slab of clay\, you can make up to 5 trees of varying sizes.  All ages welcome.  I have made these trees for many years\, and they are always one of my best sellers at holiday craft fairs.  Mounting drift wood will be available for an additional cost. It is up to you to do the final assembly. I use bamboo skewers as tree trunks\, and those can be inserted into a piece of wood. Come back in two weeks to glaze your trees. Trees left for more than a month will be recycled.  \nYou can pick up your trees within 3 weeks from when you glaze it.  \nThis is the project for Sunday 11/16. The drop in workshop is offered from 2 – 4 pm.  It will probably take you about half an hour to make the trees. You can come any time between those hours – just plan on half an hour to make the project. \nA different project will be offered every weekend. Projects for the fall include\, tree luminaires\, and ornaments\, and a plate for santa. Once glazed and fired the pots will be dishwasher safe\, microwaveable and oven proof.

This is for you! This is a two day workshop\, one day you will play on the wheel\, and the next class\, the next week\,  you will come back and glaze your pot(s).  \nIn this workshop\, you will have unlimited amount of clay to try your hand on the wheel. From all the pots you make in this 2 hour class\, you can choose one to keep\, that you will glaze the following week. You can choose 4 of the pots you make for an additional charge of $4 per pot.  The first class will take 2 hours\, the second class will take about an hour (depending on how many pots you keep).  \nGrab your family or friends\, and make an evening of it! The throwing  class is limited to just 4 students\, providing you with some good one on one instruction. This is a good chance for you to see if you like working with clay before investing in a longer class.  \nPots made in previous “One Day Intro to Throwing” classes: \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\nThis workshop will take place on Friday\, November 21 and 28 from 6-8  pm.  \nTo sign up for this workshop\, click here\nPlease see my mask and studio rules.\n  URL:https://oldschoolclayandceramics.com/event/intro-to-throwing-november/ LOCATION:Old School Clay and Ceramics\, 145 Main St\, Groton\, Ma\, 01450 CATEGORIES:Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oldschoolclayandceramics.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/throwing-pic-e1619447045869.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Old School Clay and Ceramics":MAILTO:whistlewood1@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251123T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251123T160000 DTSTAMP:20260423T183341 CREATED:20251026T222615Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251026T222615Z UID:7692-1763906400-1763913600@oldschoolclayandceramics.com SUMMARY:Drop In Sunday - Make Ornaments DESCRIPTION:Join us Sunday November 23 to make ornaments.
