Skill Share Series

Curious about transfers? Want to know more caring for your body while working with clay? We got you!
Join us in the studio for a quick demo where artists will share a single technique they often use in their clay practice. A 30 minute demo will be provided, with no hands-on clay activity for the attendees. A pay what you can event where all funds go directly to the artist. Skill Shares are limited to 20 attendees and will be held on Sundays, 4:00-5:00pm. We’ll see you there!


Rhythm Sutherland / Learn to Reclaim Your Clay!

May 19th, 4:00-5:00pm

In this skill share taught by Studio Technician Rhythm Sutherland, we will watch and learn step by step instructions of how to turn our scrap clay bits back into workable clay through the reclaim process. The purpose of reclaiming clay is so we don’t have to open a new bag of clay every time, saving money and being environmentally conscious.

Jordan Shea / Transfer Time!

November 12th, 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Elevate your pieces without a ton of effort! In this 1-hour workshop, we'll learn about underglaze transfers and how to apply them to leatherhard or bisqued pieces. Underglaze transfers are screen-printed onto rice paper with liquid underglaze and are applied much like a temporary tattoo. Transfers can help participants achieve detailed results, especially beginners or those without a steady hand.

Kim Maxwell / Body Awareness

September 24th, 4:00-5:00pm

Throwing and hand building with clay are wonderful ways to explore your creativity and improve skills.  Working with clay combines the cognitive, emotional and physical.  Often the physical involves repetitive movement which can be cumulatively hard on your body.  Starting the journey to know how you move, how you might improve how you move, and how you can practice self care to relax and relieve musculature used during clay work is a useful tool to add to your ribs, wiggle wires and needle tools.
