Make Two Pumpkins (September)
2021-09-12 13:00 - 15:00
Time moves so fast and Thanksgiving will be here before we know it! Use the time to make 2 ceramic pumpkins that will grace your festive holiday table. We will use actual leaves to add extra interest to your pumpkins, and texture on the body of the pumpkin. It will take 2 classes to make these pumpkins. The first class will be focused on making the pumpkins using a template, the second class will focus on glazing the pumpkins. Each class should take about an hour. The class will be limited to 8 students. Click here for tickets: pumpkins.

Make a Pocket Succulent Garden (Sept)
2021-09-14 19:00 - 21:00
This three day workshop combines the fun of working with clay, as well as the enjoyment and satisfaction of gardening. The first day we will make the actual pocket container from a slab of stoneware clay. Different shapes and textures will be explored to help you create a planter into which you will plant 3 baby succulents. The second class, the following week, we will prepare the container for glazing and then glaze. Different methods of glazing and the different glazes available will be covered. The third week of class will be spent planting the container you made using small 2 inch succulents. (The succulents I have ordered from Mountaincrest Gardens are not hardy). You can choose from the many varieties I will have. When the pocket garden is finished, take it home and hang in a sunny spot of honor!
The workshop will meet September 14, 21, and 28, from 7 to 9 pm. None of the classes will likely take the full 2 hours allowed.

Make a Spoon Rest (September)
2021-09-20 19:00 - 21:00
There is so much that is good about learning to make pottery! To take a lump of clay and transform it into something beautiful – that is also functional, is so incredibly satisfying. A spoon rest is one of those things that is functional, but also has so much versatility in terms of design. (Also, they make great presents!) There is no end to how creative you can get with your design.
Working from a template and mold, you will make three spoon rests that reflect your own own style! One spoon rest will be similar to the one shown using a magnolia leaf (or bring your own leaf from home), another will be the more traditional spoon rest, the third allows you to tap into your own creativity and create your own design.
The first day of this two day workshop will be spent making the actual spoon rests. Depending on how much detail you include, or how much you branch out on your own design, it will take a little over an hour. The second class will also take around an hour for glazing.
The class is limited to 8 people, and will take place on Monday evening, 7 – 9 pm, September 20 and 27. For examples of other spoonrests folks across the internet have made: click here
