Classes @ Southwestern Community College

Posted on June 1, 2010 by pincupottery

Today begins another session of pottery classes at the Heritage Arts Institute at Southwestern Community College. We have the BEST Ceramics program in Western North Carolina!!!

There is still time to register and join us! Here is the list of classes I will be teaching this summer:

Beginner/Intermediate Wheel – Tuesday and Thursday nights 6-9 pm. Come one, Come all – no experience necessary!

Handbuilding with Clay – Monday afternoons 1-5 PM. Learn to make pots and sculpture without any fancy, expensive tools! No experience necessary.

Pots out of Round – Know how to center a ball of clay on the wheel and make a cylinder? Now lets learn to get it out of the round and into square, triangle, or anything else not round! This class will be truly fun for intermediate to advanced throwers! Mon and Wed. nights 6-9 PM.

Go to the Heritage Arts website and check out the dates. Mark your calendar and call to register! It’s never too late to learn to pot!

Southern Highlands Craft Guild

I don’t want to jinx it, nor am I much of a braggard… but I just got word that…..

I passed the first jury!!!!!

There are two juries to go through in order to become a Southern Highlands Craft Guild Member. The first involves sending photos of your work. Then, the artist must send actual objects to be fondled, etc.

This is a highly prestigious group of artists/craftspeople and I am THRILLED to get this far!!!! If I get in, I may be eligible to have work in the Folk Art Center on the Blue Ridge Parkway. WAZOO!!!

I just couldn’t contain myself. Wish me luck!!!!
