Some class spaces remaining
Term 2 got underway this week. We still have a few spaces left in some classes that haven't yet begun. Emma Meyers is teaching a 4 week after school children's class that begins on Monday 15 May. If you are at a loose end this evening, there are still a few spaces on David Kenny's 4 week Introduction to Pottery class beginning at 6pm this evening. You can still buy tickets (while they last) until 4.45pm.
Woodfiring postponed
Due to wet weather and unavailability of dry wood we have had to postpone the woodfiring until later this month. Thanks to Ginny and Victoria for volunteer to collect the wood. The new firing will be held on 26, 27 and 28 May. If you missed out on a place previously, some places may become available. Please get in touch with us if you wish to be placed on a waiting list.
Car boot sale
One of our potters is part of The Home Educators Network and has shared an upcoming opportunity with us. They are holding a car boot sale at 66 Alison Street on 27th May (or 10th June if wet weather) and this might be a great opportunity to sell some ceramic work. Please contact vickyannag@gmail.com to book a $20 car space.
