Certified zentangle teacher\, Donna Spencer\, will start the first of 3 classes to share her knowledge of zentangle. Zentangle is defined as ” a form of meditative doodling that has repeating patterns\, or tangles\, put together to form a Zen-tangle.” This fun and relaxing art has numerous applications beyond how it will be used in this workshop. (Tied up on zoom meetings – pull out your zentangle designs and make the meeting more productive!) . No experience or artistic ability is required…if you can write your name\, you can create beautiful Zentangle designs! \nWhat we will be doing in this workshop is adding texture to a platter that you will make using stamps\, that you will make\, in a manner consistent with zentangle design.  \nDuring the first class\, January 3\, Donna will lead you through some selected zentangle  patterns.  You will take that knowledge to create a zentangle design of your own on paper – about the size of the eventual platter you will make. You will then take that knowledge and create clay stamps which will be used on your own clay platter.  \n \nThe next week\, January 10\, you will make a clay platter. Your stamps will have been “fired”\, so that they will be hard enough to stamp the clay\, and can be used on your platter. The platter is about 5 by 12 inches*. The final platter will be oven proof\, dishwasher safe\, and microwavable. \n \nThe last day (January 17) of the workshop\, week 3\,  will be spent refining your platter and glazing. \nThe combination of clay\, where you take a lump of clay and turn it into something beautiful and functional\, and zentangle\, is surely one of the most mindful activities ever created. \n \nHere is a fun example of how one potter uses stamps in his pottery.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=354&v=d2iQ3bGJ2uE&feature=emb_title\n \nPlease familiarize yourself with my studio rules before signing up for this class.  \n  \n\nThis is a platter Donna made using a glazed zentangle design on a clay platter.\n\n \nThe class will meet January 3\, 10\, and 17\, from 7 – 9 pm.  The class is limited to 8 students. No experience needed.\n \nHere are examples of zentangle design used on pottery from the internet (It requires joining pinterest which is free); zen pottery\n \nTo reserve your seat\, click here: Zentangle Tray URL:https://oldschoolclayandceramics.com/event/zentangle-and-clay-january/ LOCATION:Old School Clay and Ceramics\, 145 Main St\, Groton\, Ma\, 01450 CATEGORIES:Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oldschoolclayandceramics.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/donnas-tray.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Old School Clay and Ceramics":MAILTO:whistlewood1@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20220106T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20220106T180000 DTSTAMP:20260426T182905 CREATED:20211127T151917Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211127T152516Z UID:985-1641484800-1641492000@oldschoolclayandceramics.com SUMMARY:Intro to Throwing - January DESCRIPTION:This is a 4 week class that will introduce you to the basics of throwing and pottery.

It is deep\, bowl like\, making it a good spaghetti bowl. \nDuring this 2 day workshop you will be led through the steps to make your very own plate.  The first day\, which will take about 2 hours\, we will make the plate\, and cover different ways to decorate it. The plate is made from a slab of clay\, molded\, and then finished on the wheel. Once the plate is made\, you can finish it any way you want. A number of different methods of decorating  will be covered\, including use of texture\, use of underglazes and stencils\, and sgraffito\, a popular Italian method of decorating pottery (as shown on the plate pictured).  The focus will be on using the sgraffito method\, but you can finish it as you like\, but the class focus will be on creating a  concentric sgraffito design of black\, white\, and a minimal amount of red as accent. The second scheduled day\, we will finish the plate. Depending on how much is done the first class\, the second class could take an hour to 2 hours. Your plate will be ready for you to take home within 2 weeks of you finishing it. \nOther spaghetti plates made by students: \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\nThe workshop will take place January 24 and 31  from 7 – 9   pm.
