CLUB INTRODUCTION
Our members meet in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. It’s so much fun to turn basic clay “greenware” into beautiful and unique pieces of finished ceramics.
We keep an inventory of greenware available for purchase and have our own kilns. For those new to our club, we are located in the same building as Silversmith which is across the courtyard from the Woodworking Shop. Come check us out!

EVENTS AND FUNDRAISERS
- Solar Vase Class – Tues., Feb. 11
Anyone can register for this fun class to enjoy!
Using wet greenware, we will cut designs into a vase and after fired in a kiln, paint glaze on the inside and outside. We then put a solar light on top, which at night will light up the inside of the vase, shining out the designs cut into it.
- Horse Hair Class – Date TBD
In this fun, exciting class, we heat up bisque pieces in a kiln then put strands of actual horse hair that will burn onto the hot bisque piece. You can leave it as is, or if you have a piece with a design on it, use chalk to color the design.
