Clay Studio Update 
We are excited to be opening for clay classes in January.
We have moved the clay studio to our main building on Morris St. During the move-in process, we became aware that the floors needed to be redone in the wheel classroom. As a result we will not be able to open for wheel classes during the winter session.
We will be holding 3 hand-building classes with Larry Downing starting in January for the Winter 2022 session:
Tuesday, Jan 4- March 8 10am – 12:30pm
Tuesday, Jan 4- March 8 6:30pm-9pm
Wednesdays, Jan 5- March 9 6:30pm-9pm
Registration will open on December 17 at 10am.
We want to thank the generosity of Northgate and Virginia Bowman for 10 years of wonderful space at Northgate. Arts News + Exhibits
