Term 3 classes
Term 3 classes are now on EventsPronto and open for registrations. The evening classes are usually popular and so we recommend booking quickly to avoid disappointment.
There have been a few changes to the class schedule for Term 3:
Libby's Tuesday class has moved to a Thursday morning slot;
Sylvia Sinel is back in Term 3 to tutor a special 4 week class combing wheel thrown pieces with sculptural techniques;
Nicolette is taking a break with Yasmin stepping in to cover the Monday evening wheel throwing class (Nicolette aims to return in Term 4);
Emily's face sculpture class is moving to an evening slot;
Emma's children's class is increasing in duration to 6 weeks.
To reserve a class spot, book online (https://www.eventspronto.co.nz/waikatopotters) or pop into the studio to book with one of the team.
Note: If booking online and selecting to pay by bank transfer, bookings will only be held for 3 business days without payment.
Workshops
We have opened up a few more spaces on the upcoming Watercolours on Pottery workshop due to popular demand: https://www.eventspronto.co.nz/event4206
David Kenny, our go-to kiln expert, is running a kiln workshop on 22 July. A mixture of theory and practical training from cutting kiln shelves; health and safety; loading and unloading; to choosing the right kiln, this workshop is great for anyone thinking of buying a kiln, or those who have one and wish to learn how to use it: https://www.eventspronto.co.nz/kiln-workshop
Studio activities
The studio is going to be even busier than usual. A small volunteer woodfiring team will be here working on a special project all weekend long. They will be firing both the gas and the Phoenix wood fired kilns.
Saturday 10am-1pm: Play with Clay.
Club gas firing next week thanks to Burns and Craig who will be volunteering next week.
Reminder: studio is closed on Monday 19 June 1-4pm for a workshop.
Medieval costumes
Are you coming to our mid-winter feast on 24th June? A few of us have been making enquiries about where to find appropriate medieval attire and our committee member, Lisa has come to the rescue. At her workplace, there is a costume library with lots of outfits from that era. If you would like to borrow one (koha) please let Sarah know. We will liaise with Lisa to arrange an hour on the 24th June when we can go to choose an outfit.
