Ladybug Plant Stakes - Fused Glass
Explore the art of fused glass in this two-hour introductory workshop designed for makers of all experience levels. Participants will learn foundational glass-cutting techniques before composing an original ladybug plant stake — a study in color, form, and texture rendered in richly layered red and black glass, finished with hand-formed wire antennae. Each piece is individually kiln-fired, with completed work available for pickup within the week.
September Pottery Open Studio
The goal of Open Studio is for students to work freely on their own projects within a flexible schedule. Open Studio is open to students that have completed Wheel 1 or Handbuilding. During these hours students may come in and work. This is not a led class, but a working studio where questions can be addressed to instructors and peers. We hope to create an environment where students can experiment and get creative while having a community of support!
August Pull a Print
Join us at the Prairie for Pull a Print, a free monthly screenprinting activity open to all! This come-and-go event invites community members to bring a personal item—like a shirt, tote bag, tea towel, or other flat fabric—and screenprint it with one unique design created for that month. Keep in mind the design is approximately 12 inches x 12 inches and we use dark inks to print. That means items should be lighter in color and large enough to accommodate the design.
