A great introduction to working on the wheel for teens! Made from a slab of clay, molded over a form, and finished on the wheel, you will be led through the steps to make a bowl. The bowl will be big enough for a small serving bowl, or an extra large serving of ice cream for one. It will be microwavable, dishwasher safe and oven proof- unless your design gets really wild. We will cover different ways of adding texture and decorating as well as making the foot which can either be low or tall like a pedestal as shown. No experience needed.
The class will meet November 15 and 22, from 4 – 6 pm. The first class we will focus on making the bowl, it will likely take the full two hours depending on how much detail you add. We will cover different methods of decorating the bowl, and participants can choose the method they want. During the second class, which will likely take an hour (though more time is provided) we will glaze the bowl. Once glazed the bowls will need to be fired and will be available for pick up within two weeks.

What could be more fun than working with your partner to create a beautiful and functional canister? Use it as a wine cooler, or use it to store your kitchen tools. It will be plenty big for either function.
You will work together to create the large cylinder shape which is hand built. You will then decide how you are going to decorate the outside of the cylinder. A grape theme is shown, but many options exist. You could do flowers, sea shells, shapes, leaves (weather dependent), or any number of ideas.
The seconds class, the following week, you will glaze your canister. Depending on how much detail you add, it should take the full two hours to create your canister.
The class will take place Saturday evening, from 4 – 6 pm, October 23 and 30.
Make the canister and then enjoy dinner at one of Groton’s many nice restaurants, most located within walking distance of our studio.
Your canister will be ready to take home within 2 weeks from your last class.
The price is for 2 people.
We will be making a menorah. This is a two day workshop, though, it may take more than 2 days, depending on how much detail you want to add. You will be given a long cylinder of clay, over a foot long, on which you will build your menorah. You can create any theme you want. Since Hanukkah is early this year, I went with a fall theme on the menorah I made. The first day we will make the menorah, and you will add your detail. You can turn your cylinder into a box, like I did, or just leave it as a cylinder. You can add texture or a stamped design, or flowers, whatever you want, and I will help in the technical aspect … I will be making more
over the coming weeks, but I have one completed to stir your creativity. Also, take a look at the link below for other ideas of ceramic menorahs made across the internet. The second day, a week later, we will glaze the menorah you made the previous week. This class is limited to 8 people. It will take place Tuesday
November 2 and 9 from 7 – 9 pm.
If you need more time to complete your menorah, we will find the time to complete at no extra charge. It is more important to have something that you will cherish for the rest of your life.
More examples to follow.

Join us on October 7 and 14 from 3 – 5 pm to make the mug shown, or one very similar, that reflects your very own creativity! This mug, which is about 5 inches tall, and holds about 12 ounces, is oven and dishwasher safe, microwavable and food safe.
During this 2 day workshop you will be led through the steps to make your very own mug. The first day, which will take about 2 hours, we will make the mug, and cover different ways to decorate your mug. Once the cylinder is made, you can finish it any way you want. A number of different methods of decorating your mug will be covered, including use of texture, use of underglazes and stencils, and sgraffito, a popular Italian method of decorating pottery. The second scheduled day, we will finish the mug . Depending on how much is done the first class, the second class could take an hour to 2 hours. Your mug will be ready for you to take home within 2 weeks of you finishing it.
This class is dependent on the pottery wheels I ordered being delivered mid-September, as anticipated.
No experience necessary!
The class is for 8 people. Grab a friend and make an afternoon of it.
I have been teaching pottery and ceramics in a variety of situations, for all age groups, for more than 30 years. I absolutely love teaching and sharing my love of clay with others.
