We turn to the arts to get through difficult times, so it’s been hard to grapple with social distancing, cancelled events, and the closure of venues during the COVID-19 outbreak. However, artists are nothing if not adaptable, especially when facing challenges. We have turned to a virtual art show to help you shop for Mother's and Fathers Day from the comfort of your home with ease.

For just $36.  you can get dirty with your friends with our  " TRY IT CLASS".  This is a one time,  1 1/2  hour workshop & is exactly what it says.

***** Since the purpose of this class is to give students a chance to experience throwing on the wheel our expectation is that  ALL pieces created during class will be deconstructed at end of evening & clay recycled.  If you are particularly pleased with your piece & instructor feels its structurally sound & likely to fire successfully you may opt to have piece trimmed, bisque fired by teacher for an additional fee depending on size of your piece.
