REGISTRATION for this class CLOSES @ 5:00 pm on Friday, October 3rd.

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!

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.
