Are you new to pottery and looking for a fun and informative beginner class? Join Intro to Clay: Pinch Pot Animals on Thursday January 14 & 28 from 5-8 p.m. in the Evergreen Lodge.
Instructor Charlie Rainbow Wolf will walk students through making their own pinch pot animal. This is a fun and whimsical activity that will produce something that is personal and unique, for none of us ever do anything exactly the same as anyone else!
Charlie will fire the pinch pot creations in a kiln after the first class, and then students will return to paint or glaze the pots.
$90/person. Register here. Registration closes January 11 or when capacity is reached. All sales are final.

About the instructor:
Charlie is an old hippie who’s been studying the weird ways of the world for nearly 50 years. She’s happiest when she’s got her hands in mud, either making pottery in the ‘Artbox’ or tending to things in the yarden (yard + garden = yarden). Astrology, tarot, and herbs are her greatest interests, but she’s dabbled in most metaphysical topics in the last five decades, because life always has something new to offer. She is a contributing author for Llewellyn Worldwide, a ghostwriter for renowned psychic celebrities, and makes a wicked batch of fudge. She lives in central Illinois with her very patient husband and her special needs Great Danes.
