Brown Bag feature and new workshop offering

Brown Bag Session tomorrow 

 The featured DVD will present Stephani Stephenson's, "Studio Scale Architectural Ceramics". Although dealing with large scale pieces, Stephani presents techniques that can be adapted to any scale you choose.


Extruder Workshop, Feb. 22

Wes Stack will present a workshop on using  extruders for creating functional and decorative ceramic pieces. Information and techniques for choosing appropriate extruders and clay and dies, decorating extruded pieces and creating your own dies will be presented. "Hands on" will be emphasized as participants will extrude and finish pieces, then decorate them with different  techniques. Please bring your regular clay tools and decorating/texturing tools to use, as well as your lunch.

Registration can be done in person at the RAL Gallery or online on the RAL website ( http://reg130.imperisoft.com/Rehoboth/Search/Registration.aspx ). Scroll down to choose the extruder workshop. Due to the hands on nature of the workshop, the maximum number of registrations is 10.

Happy Holidays! - Expanded Hours

Happy Holidays to all the RAL Studio Potters. Hope this has been a wonderful year for you, and you're looking forward to next year being even better.

Santa has granted the wish of many potters for more studio time. We will be expanding the days for Open Studio on a trial basis in January. The schedule with monitors' names follows. We will be evaluating the new schedule at the end of January to determine the future schedule. Also click this link to access these and other events on the studio calendar.
