Join us for a Day of Clay! Center Ground Studios will be offing a fully hands on education experience for people of all ages, bringing the world of ceramics to our local library. We will have 3 ways to interact with clay:
Participants ages 7+will have the opportunity to pre-register for their own one on one 15 min mini pottery lesson with professional potters from the Madison Potters Guild. They will be guided through making a pot from start to finish. REGISTRATION FOR POTTERY WHEEL SESSIONS ARE FULL. Other drop in activities are still available.
Our hand building table will not require registration and is open to all ages. There will be an all ages work space set up with a variety of self guided age appropriate project prompts to set your little up for success.
Finally, get inspired watching a chunk of clay be transformed into a lovely vase right in front of you in real time. We will be showcasing the talents of local potters on our Demonstration wheel, where they will share how to make many different forms using varied techniques.
Meet in the library outdoor shelter, weather permitting.
