Great news! I will be spinning up the class again for January 2025! Everything from last year is staying put, I will just be back online demoing, exploring & answering questions! Demos in January 2025 will be on Wednesdays at noon Pacific Time.
This will be layered upon all this goodness from last year:
January 2024, Tuesdays, January 9th through 30th 5pm Pacific Time... this class is ongoing, all of the live demos have been saved as videos to review at any time, there are lots of drop-in-demos in-between the Tuesday evening classes. It's a party!
This class is ongoing & being held via a private Facebook group. I will be posting handouts, we can all post pix of what we are working on, and the live sessions will be streaming there, and you will be able to go back and watch the live sessions at your leisure. Link to that Facebook group is https://www.facebook.com/groups/januarycupsclasswi...
Guest presenters:
Jessica Danbrook Ceramics!
Amy Brummond of Pine Zen Pottery!
Jennifer Fujimoto Art & Design!
Who wants to kick off the New Year with a return to our most basic and beloved form, the Cup? Let's get down & dirty and super nerdy and really delve into what makes a great cup and learn how to do that. From talls to smalls and all the sizes and uses in-between, including how to make the templates for the form you desire.I will be demonstrating each week on Tuesdays at 5pm Pacific, and then dropping in for extras in-between.
Tuesday evening live classes will start at 5pm Pacific Time.
Let's make this January a month of ceramic goodness to remember, by dialing in our cups and becoming our own perfect potters.
