COUPLES CLASS: "Saturday Clay Date Night" @ Creative Arts Center

Event Link: https://www.artofthelakes.org/education.html

Saturday Clay Date Night

March 1: 6:30-9 pm or
​April 5: 6:30-9 pm
$45./person


Grab a bite to eat at a local downtown restaurant, and then head to the Creative Arts Center to create one-of-a-kind pieces with your favorite person. Learn a new skill together with your partner, friend, or family member! We will walk you through the wheel and clay building processes. No clay experience necessary but dress for a mess! Clay, glazes, and firing fees are included. Ages 18 & up. Price is per person.

* Share your Date Night with friends using social media and make it a night of fun and memories! *

About the Event
This clay-filled experience is all about learning how to throw small pots on the Potter's Wheel or creating a slab tray or coiled bowl, and you even get to keep them! You'll be able to give pieces that extra personal touch they need by glazing them in underglaze. From there, the pots will dry out over the next few days and will be glazed with a clear-coat to help make the underglaze bright and shiny. Once the pieces are fired you will be notified to come back to pick up your ready to display/use wares!

Things you need to know:
This is messy work, so wear clothing you don't mind getting dirty. We have aprons and towels available for use. Short nails are best for beginners working with clay on the wheel. We have nail clippers if you need to chop your claws. Feel free to BYOB if you're 21 and over.

This original hands-on, interactive weaving class is an introduction to the basics of weaving on a loom, and it’s a playful zen experience!

Included:

  • How to prep the loom.

  • Learn a variety of weaving stitches and techniques.

  • How to design with various yarns, fibers, and natural elements.

  • How to remove any (future) art from the loom and finish it off, making it worthy of display.

  • All supplies are provided. You may bring your loom if you have one.

Participants will work with materials and supplies to gain an understanding of the craft of loom weaving. There will be recommendations from the instructor on how to learn and evolve weaving at home and on your own! This course is a true introduction to the craft, to help you decide what to make in the future. Weaving projects include making wall decor, coasters, amulets, bracelets, placemats, and much more, depending on your interests.
Oh and…..What’s the zen bit? Glad you asked!

Weaving has been an immersive zen experience for me. When life presents challenges from which I need to escape and self-soothe, weaving has been a soulful adventure! I have intuited many ‘lessons about life’ from my weaving journey that I will share with you in the hopes that you will benefit from the joy, creativity, and wisdom that weaving offers. Expect to experience an inspiring class with a playful and positive vibe!

Workshop 16+/All Materials included/ Must pre-register for class/ for beginners
