Centre promises "personal" education, and a big part of personal is knowing the persons who are part of your community. For that reason, we frequently include a photo of the individual making the submision—to help bring "names and faces together." If you prefer not to have your picture included, just say so on your submission and we'll honor that personal request as well.

Clay Seminar with Frank Kahanic at Ceramic Creations by Jaque
Saturday, October 10 at 10:00 am.
The local community is invited to register for the clay creation class "LEAF It To Me" with Frank Kahanic at Ceramic Creations by Jaque in Danville on Saturday, Oct. 10, 10 am. Get out your rolling pen, put on your grubby clothes, gather some leaves, and get ready to play in the clay! You'll learn to “augment” traditional cast pieces with your one-of-a-kind hand-formed “nature-art.” You'll complete at least two projects during the class: one from clay, and one will be a cast piece that is "augmented" with your clay creations. This is an educational and informative class suitable for everybody.
COST: Class fee is $40 + $12.50 for a block of clay. The other required supplies are basic, which you probably have around the house: rolling pen, leaves, shoe box lid, Xacto Knife, plastic bag, board covered w/canvas cloth or unpainted sheet of drywall board. Jaque will provide a complete list upon registration. Please get your deposit in ASAP because class size is limited.
LUNCH: We will do a traditional pot-luck lunch (everybody generally participates) at noon. Jaque will furnish the drinks.
