** In this cycle, we are trying something a little different. Instead of meeting weekly for 6 continuous weeks, we are meeting for 5 weeks and then taking a week break and coming back to glaze during weekend times the weekend of October 24th and 25. The studio will be open all weekend, with specific times TBA.
Finished pieces for the first fall session will be ready for pickup a a week or two after glazing weekend.
If you are continuing your practice with us, we’ll begin the second fall session the week of October 19, and return to our typical practice meeting for 5 weeks, then skipping class Thanksgiving week while work dries, and then finishing up with glazing the first week of December. We’ll open enrollments in late September.
