Learn how to use locally farmed flowers and foraged greens to create a large, lush dahlia-focused arrangement in a ceramic footed compote.

Artist and floral stylist, Christy Curcuru, will demonstrate how to arrange a large centerpiece while talking you through her design philosophy (structural principles, color theory, texture, shape and scale). Each attendee will receive hands-on guidance throughout the entire process, ending with help photographing finished work to cherish forever. If time allows, Christy will demonstrate how to work with other vessels you might have at home. Please bring a vessel you have questions about!  All other supplies included.

In this 5 day hand building class, we will make objects commonly found on your dinner table using the slab roller and slabs of clay, texture pads, etc.  Objects to be made could be Plates, Bowls, Salt/Pepper Shakers, Candle Sticks, Pitcher, etc.   Templates will be provided for students to use, although students are welcome to create their own.  In an effort to get through as many projects as we can, this class is designed to make examples, not entire plate settings or dinnerware sets.  The class includes Open Studio only on the day of class.  There is no glazing component to this class.  Please see Glazing Class in the Resident Artist Schedule.

This hands-on workshop introduces students to the process of creating a turned bowl with a fitted lid and decorative finial. The class begins with an overview of the studio, tools, and safe lathe practices, then moves into preparing and mounting wood and understanding grain direction. Throughout the workshop, emphasis is placed on good technique, thoughtful design, and achieving clean, well-proportioned forms.

Students will work through shaping, sanding, and finishing each element of the piece while building confidence and refining their skills. The class concludes with finishing options such as coloring or surface treatments, followed by a group discussion of the completed work and the ideas behind each piece.

This workshop is suitable for both beginners or those who have some experience woodturning, but are looking to deepen their knowledge and learn new techniques.
