2D Flower Vase with Laura VanCamp

Saturday, October 3rd 2 pm to 4 pm 

In this class we will be combining the 2D with the 3D! You will create your own vase silhouette in the 2D. We will then add a pocket to the back of the silhouette, making it capable of holding freshly picked or dried flowers.

Friday October 2nd * 6:00pm - 8:00pm

Get into the spooky spirit by handbuilding a whimsical ceramic potion bottle using a slab template. Add texture, stamps, sculpted details, or decorative decals to make it your own.

No experience is needed. Finished pieces will be fired and ready for pickup approximately 2 weeks later.

with Alisa Clark

Saturday October 3rd * 1:00pm to 4:00pm

This hands-on, three-hour workshop invites participants to explore art-making through intuition rather than instruction. Guided by mixed-media artist Alisa E. Clark, you’ll experiment with materials, marks, and layers while learning to trust process, play, and personal response.

No prior art experience is required—this workshop is about letting go of expectations, listening closely, and discovering what emerges when you create from the inside out. Participants may or may not leave with a finished piece—and that’s completely okay. This workshop emphasizes experience over outcome, offering starting points, new ways of working, and moments of discovery. The true takeaway is a deeper connection to your creative voice, along with insights and approaches you can continue exploring long after the workshop ends.

*Students should bring a journal or sketchbook, basic paintbrushes, and texture/mark-making materials (string, sandpaper shapes, leaves, fabric scrapes, etc).
