Ceramic Workshop - Bonnie Birds

Join us for another ceramic workshop at SAAC on Saturday, November 30 at 1 pm at SAAC/Proof Bakery.

This workshop will be a pottery sculpting workshop to learn how to make "Bonnie Birds." Bonnie Birds are unique, one-of-a-kind, hand-built, palm-sized clay birds. No commercial molds will be used; instead, simple tools such as small wooden blocks and your own hands will be used. Whether you choose to make a chickadee, owl, bluebird, or wren; each will be your own work of art.

Tickets are $25 per person, limited to 12 tickets. Your ticket includes the lesson from Bonnie Renfroe AND glazing and firing of your projects. Funds raised from this workshop are split between SAAC and the teaching artist.

For any other questions, please contact SAAC.
