This class has a pre-scheduled inclement weather make-up date on Thursday, Feb 13th from 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM. Participants are asked to keep their availability open for this date as well, should it be needed.

Family Friendly! Ages: 8-100 (Those under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult.) Please register all participants.

Join us for a hands-on, creative experience where you can make a difference! We invite community members of all ages and skill levels to come together and create handbuilt ceramic bowls that will be donated to support local charitable events. Whether you’re an experienced ceramicist or new to clay, this workshop is a wonderful opportunity to learn, create, and give back.

Teaching Artist Chip Wagner will guide participants through the process of shaping slabs into bisque-mold forms, then stamping, carving, and personalizing the details of their bowls. Your unique creations will then be fired in The Dairy Barn's kilns and donated to local charitable initiatives including Athens Area Mediation Service's Souper Bowl and Amesville Elementary's Empty Bowls event benefiting the Athens County Food Pantry. This series of making and glazing events is available at no cost to participants, though pre-registration is required to ensure we have space for everyone. By participating, you’ll not only learn new artistic techniques but also contribute to a cause that helps strengthen our community. Come with your friends, family, or just yourself, all are welcome!

REGISTRATION for this class CLOSES @ 5:00 pm on Thursday, March, 6th.

For Ages 14+ (those under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult) 

Experience the magic of pour painting, a unique technique where vibrant colors flow freely onto the canvas. Participants are encouraged to choose three colors of their liking and let their creativity soar. They can enhance their masterpieces with glitter, silicone, oil, or foil for an extra touch of sparkle and depth. The possibilities are endless, and the process is fun and free-spirited.

In this workshop, students will create their unique painting on an 8” x 10” canvas. Due to the nature of the materials, completed paintings will be left to dry and available for pick-up after two days, during The Dairy Barn’s regular hours Tuesday-Friday 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, and Saturday-Sunday 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM.

Teaching Artist, Savannah Fish, has experience teaching individuals with diverse abilities, and creating an inclusive learning environment. She invites you to discover the joy of creating beautiful art together!
