Starting this Wednesday, we will be conducting sessions on Basic Introduction to Working with Clay. This is a two session course that will cover making simple containers, hanging art, ornaments, preparing for firing in the kiln, glazing and all related aspects of making handmade pottery pieces. Learn about recognizing types of clay, how to keep clay workable for specific pieces, wedging, rolling, pinch pot, slab formation, coiling, use of tools, and more!
Sessions will be every Wednesday from 6 – 9 PM. Cost for non-members is $25 for the two sessions and includes materials. Discounted fee for members is only $10. What a deal! Pre-registration is suggested but not required. See you there!
Ohe Kapala are bamboo stamps with intricate designs. These were used in ancient times to create repetitive patterns onto kapa. Using one stamp the artist could create hundreds of different designs. These designs played on both positive and negative space, creating patterns with even the unstamped portion of the design. Join us on Sat Oct 15 to make your own design. Bring your own fabric items or purchase at the workshop.
It’s great seeing so much activity in the ceramics studio, especially on Tuesdays and Thursdays. A new shipment of clay and glazes should be arriving soon. In the meantime, we need to tidy things up a bit. There are several bags of clay with names, but have been untouched for several months. We’re cleaning. Please name your clay and projects in a box before Sep 5, 2016. Unclaimed/unnamed items become the property of Lanai Art Center. Mahalo for your help and support!
