CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS
The Guild offers a variety of pottery and mixed media classes during fall, winter and spring sessions. Pottery programs include adult wheel and handbuilding classes, a range of project or skilled based workshops, and occasional child and youth classes. Mixed media programs typically include weaving, knitting, felting, fabric dyeing, stained glass, and silversmithing. Classes and workshops in other media and crafts are offered when possible. Our instructors are talented artists with extensive knowledge and experience in their respective disciplines. Many are studio potters or active Guild members with a strong commitment to sharing their skills with the community.
| VISITING ARTIST WORKSHOPS
The Guild strives to host a least one multi-day workshop per year with visiting artists in each of pottery and a mixed media discipline. Our visiting artist workshops offer members the opportunity to develop skills in specialized aspects of their discipline and to gain inspiration for new directions in their art. Our visiting artist workshops are made possible through grant funding from the NWT Arts Council. Past visiting artist workshops have included glaze-mixing, mono-printing, tile-making, stained glass tiffany lamp-making, and much more. Skills learned in these workshops enable our instructors to continually improve and expand on our programs.
