Pottery Throwdown Extravaganza…and Snacks!
June 24 1pm-6pm
DMS Ceramics Area
In Ceramics, we are fortunate to have a fairly recyclable material and adventurous spirits so we have once again asked ourselves, “What’s the worst that can happen?”. It’s time for a challenge! Can you throw blindfolded? Throw a pot with three other people? One hand hand build? We certainly think it’ll be fun to try at the very least.
Come stretch your skills or cheer on our plucky potters in pushing the limits of possibility…and good sense. Whether you are a seasoned potter or just find yourself with a free Saturday, we’d love to have you praise our accomplishments or laugh along with our failures, we’ll definitely have both.
Things to bring: folding/camp chair, apron or towel if you are thinking of giving it a whirl in a game, potluck snacks!
Signups for events will be in the Ceramics area next week with some spots reserved for day of, don’t think you’ve escaped our grasp by ‘not getting around to it’; we have you in our sights. You can do it. Or not. Either will be a rollicking good time.
