Maureen Joyce's face mugs make everyone smile and we could all use a smile right now!!  So come work with Maureen for two hours and create your own!  That's right, create your own face mug!!    Our Make-A-Face Mug class is a lot of fun and seats fill up fast.  In this class, Maureen will provide a pre-thrown mug to each student, she will model and explain how she creates the character on the mug and then students will each get to model a character that is unique to them into their own mug.  You also get to decide if you would like a handle or not.  Maureen likes small classes so that she can walk around and work with each of you.  If you are thinking you can't do this... YES you can and you will have a blast!  Maureen will then take the completed mugs with her to fire.  Students can pick up their finished Face Mug approximately 3 weeks after the class.  No experience required and no artistic ability necessary.   Ages 13 (if accompanied by an adult) and up.

Janet McKelvey is bringing Inks and Drinks back to the gallery.  In this fun class, Janet will demonstrate different ink techniques and teach you how to create unique designs and patterns on your own set of coasters!  Your ticket includes instruction and supplies to create a beautiful set of four coasters using alcohol based inks on ceramic tiles.  Make your own coasters for home or create a lovely gift for someone!  No artistic ability required!   Janet will take your artwork with her to finish with UV protectant spray, bartop epoxy and a cork bottom. They will be ready for you to use and enjoy in about a week.  There is an option to add on a trivet that is only available with the purchase of four coasters. All materials are provided.   All ages welcome.  If under 13, adult supervision is required.
