    Looking to try out pottery without the commitment of a full class?  At One-Time Handbuilding night, you can try your hand at clay for handbuilding. Friendly guild members will be available to demo techniques and support you in your efforts to tame the clay and turn it into an object you can actually eat or drink from.

    The goal of the night will be to have fun and create a piece or two to take home. You will be able to choose a glaze for your magnificent creation. In two to three weeks, once it has dried and been fired and glazed by our members, it will be available for pick up.

    Instructors:  Jenny Tucker and Melanie Desjardins

    PrerequisitesNothing but a positive attitude!  Age 16 or older.  Adult full or casual membership.

    Cost (Adult Full Member):  $65 (includes clay and completion of pieces by Guild potters)
