Do you have any pictures of the garlic & oil slab plate? I’d love to see what it looks like!

I know I’ve already done it, but I think it would be great to offer the chip & dip bowl or piggy bank classes again. Those were both very challenging and I learned a lot. I think they would be good for people to take.

I like the classes where we learn the different unique ways to get textures. Like when we used the bubbles and that cracking stuff. I’d love to take more classes about techniques like that. I’m also still waiting for you to offer that class that uses layering and that special glaze. I hope you know what I’m referring to! :grimacing:

I’m also getting lots of ideas watching the pottery throw down show. Be careful asking me for ideas! :smirk: :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: :joy:

Oh man yes please! I haven’t done ceramics since I was a tween in school, but I’m dying to get back into it, and I’m obsessed with the sweater mugs!

…Though I should probably start with some 101 classes first to refresh my memory :joy:

Just added a glazing class for 1/21 at 6PM

Also, put up a hand building class, open to outside DMS, for a 5$ fee for 5lbs of clay on 2/18. We will see if this bring in potential members :slight_smile:

What’s the age requirement? My neighbor and her daughter (12 years old) have asked me a lot about ceramics. They love doing those paint your pottery and wanted to take a class. I think the one open to non-members would be great for them.

Oh…I listed this one as 18 and over. We typically say wheels must be 16+ but hand building can be younger. I’ll let you know when I put another up and I’ll lower the age requirement although Mom will have to be present at all times.

I know about mom needing to be there and she’ll probably sign up too. I knew the wheel required an older age, but figured hand building would be younger. Hopefully, you can put up another class for non-members soon after.
