It is Spring and we have launched our Spring Virtual Classes and Workshops. With the current uncertainty regarding possible changes in restrictions and with the repairs from the flood, our classroom and studio spaces will be under construction for the next while. Our first 6-week, Handbuilt Pottery with Gabe’s Pottery begins on April 22. In this class, students will be creating three functional pieces that include a cereal bowl, a tumbler and a mug with a handle. These pieces will be finished with glaze. Students will make three non-functional pieces that include a succulent dish and a coil plant pot. The techniques used include slab and coil building and applying texture and patterns to your creations. Registration is open online at prairiefusion.ca/classes-and-workshops.
