<h3><br></h3><h3>Wednesday Evening Pottery Social Club comes out of a longing from my inner child, and making it come true as my adult self! I've never been one for parties, but gathering meaningfully is something I love and has profound effects for all of us.</h3><p><br></p><h3>I know many people feel this way! We are some combination of introverted/extroverted, introverts who like people, extroverts who like to be chill.</h3><p><br></p><h3>So I wanted to foster a social environment that allows people to sometimes sit in quiet presence with each other and make things with their hands, allowing conversation and relationship to unfold naturally over a number of weeks. Our focus is not just making pottery, but making connections.</h3><p><br></p><h3>Restore yourself midweek with a relaxed social environment, snacks and  mocktails. And also learning to make some really gorgeous pottery projects for yourself!</h3><h3>Can you tell I'm a fan of Priya Parker's book "The Art of Gathering".</h3><p><br></p><h3>This four-part series will focus on  a new clay Handbuilding project each time, and I will also have some fun conversation prompts, mocktails (yay, I'm sober!) and snacks!</h3><h3><br></h3><h3>We'll also have an optional appetizer potluck!</h3><h3>So, if one week you want to make something special to try out on new people, and the next you want to bring a bag of chips, that is all ok! Potlucks are fun and communal! This is low-pressure. </h3><p><br></p><h3><br></h3><h1>PLEASE READ FAQ BELOW BEFORE BOOKING.</h1><h1><br></h1>

<p><br></p><h3>We'll be learning a variety of techniques including slump mold, coiling, pinching, slab building and textured stamp making.

We'll have a variety of colored underglazes and a selection of fun glazes</h3><h3><br></h3><h3><em><em>Week 1 Workshop</em></em>: coiled berry bowls and making handmade clay stamps</h3><h3><br></h3><h3><em><em>Week 2 Workshop</em></em>: textured Platters made with our fired stamps</h3><h3><br></h3><h3><em><em>Week 3 Workshop</em></em>: coiled vases and flower 'bricks'</h3><h3><br></h3><h3><em><em>Week 4 Workshop</em></em>: slab built and pinched butter dishes and candle holders</h3><h3><br></h3><p><br></p>
