Date: Wednesday, October 5, 2022 6:00pm - 8:30pm (Please arrive early if you plan to order a beverage before class. Plan to end on time.)
Location: Gizmo Brewery, 3109 Shannon Rd #201, Durham, NC 27707
Enjoy a beverage at Gizmo Brewery in Durham, NC while you design and sculpt your own trinket dishes! You will be provided with one 7ā€ x 10ā€ slab of cream-white or red clay that you can make as many trinket dishes from as desired. Templates will be provided for popular shapes like spoon dishes or rectangles, or you can freehand cut the shape(s) you want. I will teach you how to apply underglaze decal images to personalize each dish! A wide variety of designs will be offered, and some are pictured here.
At the end of class, I will take your dishes to my studio to be fired, waxed, clear-glazed, and fired again. Your dishes will be available for pick-up at Gizmo in Durham once they are finished.
***Very important*** Pottery is a bit of science, and a lot of physics, and random things happen in the creation process. I will try my absolute best to care for your creation from start to finish, but strange things do happen as slabs dry, such as cracking and warping. I will explain how you can likely prevent them while we are sculpting, but Iā€™m always surprised by what clay will do. By signing up for this class, you accept the fate of the kiln gods, and there are no refunds or replacements for projects that do not survive the process.
