"The Amazing Magical Potter’s Wheel!" Pottery Wheel Demo & Pinch Pottery Workshop for ages 5+
4:30pm - 5:30pm
A HANDS-ON WORKSHOP WITH A MASTER POTTER!
Master Potter Rick Hamelin will set up his potter's wheel right on the lawn (or in the program room if it's raining) and give a demonstration of how he creates his unique red earthenware pottery!
This is an all ages, family-friendly pottery wheel demonstration program with a focus on the arts, the exploration of creativity and techniques with a touch of history.
Hands-On: We will be passing from person to person a freshly made pot from the potter’s wheel and the chance to feel a dry and wet pot as it rotates on the wheel.
Each person will also make a pinch pot (cup made from a ball of clay by pinching the clay with the thumb and finger) and the unfired piece goes home with the participant.
