The Happy Potters having been busy this spring and enjoying classes taught by advanced potters in the club.

An extruder class and a dipping class were held and taught by JoAnn Hanes and Gary Triebsch.

The extruder technique enables the potter to create different shapes and sizes of objects. The shapes can be long, round, circular or square, adding texture and or dimension to the pieces.

The dipping class enables you to glaze your pottery piece by dipping into a container of glaze. You can use one or more colors. We are going to try and designate a time to dip pieces every other week.

The Happy Potters started new classes on May 18 and will continue to offer classes if there is an interest. It’s a great way to meet new friends, create pieces that are uniquely your own and be a part of a fun club.

If you are interested in joining The Happy Potters Club, there is a sign-up book in the Arts and Crafts room, which is located in the Creative Arts and Technology Center. While signing up, please take time to view our display in our pottery window.
