Pottery II offers students an opportunity to build upon wheel-throwing fundamentals and explore new forms and techniques. This eight-week class features instructor demonstrations, hands-on learning, and available Open Studio time outside of regularly scheduled classes.

Demonstrations will include a variety of ways to create lidded forms. Students will learn how to measure using calipers and ways to throw, trim or hand-build, creative knobs and handles. Finally, students in this class will have an opportunity to create a butter keeper, a unique piece of tableware with a special bell-shaped lid to keep room-temperature butter fresh.

This class is best suited for those who have basic wheel-throwing skills and feel comfortable wedging, centering, and throwing small to medium-sized cylinders. (Equivalent to The Dairy Barn Pottery I Intro to Wheel Throwing class.)

REGISTRATION for this class CLOSES @ 5:00 pm on Friday, February 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!
