Did you forget to sign-up for a Class?

I still have openings in my Tuesday evening class at Guilford Art Center. 

In this class I will teach students how to make pottery in a number of ways, both hand built and thrown. We will throw pots on the wheel that aren't round, slab build pots that aren't square, and glaze all of the work using color and pattern to make the pots sing with excitement. I will show a number of techniques that allow for the easy and expressive construction of pottery forms. No experience is necessary.

The class starts on January 11th and will go until March 1st from 6:30 pm until 9:30 pm.  Tuition is $260 and Member Tuition is $234.00. 
The link to Guilford Art Center is   http://www.guilfordartcenter.org/school.html.

I hope I will see you in class on Tuesday!
