Buttons & Bowls (SOLD OUT)

6 sessions
Wednesday 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Teaching Artist:
Charlene Carpenzano
In this six-week clay class, we’ll look at the beautiful, simple forms of Lucie Rie for inspiration. We’ll explore her shapes, surfaces, and love of everyday objects while making our own collection of buttons and bowls. We’ll play with texture, form, and glaze, and think about how small details can make a simple piece really special. A fun class for experimenting, making, and finding your own voice in clay.
No class the night before thanksgiving 11/25/26
