Only a few project photos have come in recently and our gallery is not getting updated to show all the exciting work you do. It would be great if there were new photos each week to keep it fresh and inspire each other, and our visitors.

Send a photo/photos (jpg files, please) and a brief description of techniques/materials used to Laura Middleton: middleton_laura@yahoo.com 

We were able to obtain a used wheel at a great price. It is set up in the Ceramics Room undergoing some refurbishment to make it more user friendly and accommodating. When the wheel is fully operational and our volunteers have had a chance to familiarize themselves with it, they will begin a series of introductory classes to get all those interested the information they need to start throwing and building skills.

Our new Education Coordinator Marcea Reid, along with Robin Kelley, has already introduced many of the newest members to ceramics through the initial Beginners’ Series. The program is a great success, with participants successfully creating three projects using different techniques. Ann LaCaze-Massi is continuing her popular Learning Cone 6 Clay & Glazing class this year for new members to learn about hand building, and current members to hone their skills.
