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
We will be having the following classes this season and more.
Horse Hair – After heating up a bisque piece, horse hair is dropped onto the heated piece creating interesting design. You can leave it as is or apply chalk to
add to the look of the piece.
Solar Vase – Using wet greenware, you carve designs out on a vase. After that, the vase is fired and you glaze it and refire the vase. Using a round solar light device, you place this on the top of the vase and it lights up at night.
Our fundraiser will be at the Open House on January 14, 2026.
Check back for updates on when and where.
