6:00 PM - 8:00 PM    Handbuilding and Surface Decoration Techniques with Maria - Advanced Wheel & Handbuilding Techniques - Summer 2026 - Maria Auad
If you already know the basics and want to strengthen your skills with more challenging advanced pottery techniques, you’ve come to the right place! Go beyond simple wheel-thrown forms with this workshop on thrown and altered pottery. This ceramics course focuses on advanced ceramic forms. More than creating ceramic cups, mugs, and plates! Starting from wheel-thrown components, this class will explore creating unique pottery vessels and pots. The instructor will introduce techniques, including throwing and various ways to hand-build them, adding your flair as you explore the altered side of pottery. The class will investigate construction methods using bottomless cylinders, thrown slabs, dicing, forms from multiple parts, and much more. This is also a perfect way to construct larger pieces. Participants will gain the skills and confidence to create more complex work. Forms explored - but not limited to - include cups/saucers, bowls, altered pitchers, vases, and teapots. Clay, glazes, and kiln firing costs are included in the materials fee, and essential tools are available in the ceramic studio. Prior throwing experience is required. $200 ($150 per participant + $50 materials fee). ContactMaria L. Auad334-663-8292lujanauad@gmail.comRefund Policy: Refunds are only available up to the start date of the quarter. After this date, no refunds will be issued by the instructor.

10:00 AM - 12:30 PM    Basket Weaving Workshops with Jacqueline - Wooden Bottom Bread Basket Workshop - Morning - Summer 2026 - Jaqueline McDonough
Wooden Based Bread Basket: This class is for beginning basket weavers as well as weavers with prior basket weaving skills. This simple basket has an oval wooden base that gives the basket its shape. An evening class as well as a morning class session is offered on the same dates. The basket can be finished in one day, but I scheduled two classes as I don’t want anyone to ever feel rushed. So, if you finish the basket in one class, you don’t have to come back for the second class but you’re welcome to come back, purchase another wooden base (maybe in a different shape?) and weave another basket! There is no materials fee as all materials are included in the class price.Birds Nest Basket: This fun class is for beginners as well as experienced basket weavers. As in all of Jackie’s classes, we will be building basket weaving skills as we weave. The basket can be finished in one class, but I offer two classes per each session since I don’t want anyone to feel rushed. If you finish your basket in the first class, you don’t have to come back for the second one if you don’t want to, but you are certainly welcome to come back to the second class and leave another! These are wonderful little baskets for gifts as well as home decor and make wonderful Christmas decorations. All materials and tools are supplied. Two summer sessions are offered. The first being June 26 and July 10 (with a break in between for the Fourth of July) and August 21 and 28. Each session has a morning or evening time. So there are lots of choices!
