    Instructor: Lynette Porter

    Ages 16+. Beginner. In this 6-week class, you will learn essential wheel-throwing techniques from centering to trimming. Bowls and mugs will be the first forms we practice throwing on the wheel. This class will give the student with little or no experience the opportunity to learn and develop a basic set of wheel-throwing skills.

    After taking this class, the student will take with them a small collection of functional wheel-thrown pottery, as well as, the skills needed to create more advanced pieces in the future. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty and leave your rings, watches and bracelets at home. 

    Fee includes up to 25 lb. of clay, glazes and firing. Bring an apron, hand towel, and your own pottery tool kit (available at local craft stores or online).

    1:00-2:30  pm

    Instructor: Rita Carpenter

    Cyanotype (sa-YAN-no-type) is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan blue print. Rita will begin with an introduction to cyanotypes, demonstrate the proces, and then you will create your own cyanotype on fabric. Bring your own memorabilia or material to copy ( anything works) or use pressed flowers, fresh foliage and plant material from the yard.

    Each person will be able to use some provided fabric/watercolor paper pieces to practice first. Then they will make a unique piece on a 6”x 6” fabric piece. This means each person will have 3-4 pieces of fabric. They can choose to frame, paint watercolor paper and frame, sew together, or use to cover a journal on their own. Instructor will give and show suggestions for finishing on your own.

    Bring your ideas and any materials you wish to use.  All other supplies provided.
