During a pandemic, non-profit art organizations need to be extra creative to keep their doors open on a shoestring budget. My friends at Workshop13 and Clayworks in Ware offered a “Take and Make Clay Workshop,” where 25 lbs. (!) of pottery clay, online tutorials, zoom meetings with instructors, semi-private in-person glazing instruction and kiln firing services were all part of the remote class. I dove in for one solid week, creating trinket dishes, tiles, wind chimes and other items in my studio, watching online tutorials and scouring Pinterest for inspiration as I went along. Here are some of the items I created. Watch for future posts to see the progress towards completion!
