We'd love to see your crafty hands chez Blackbird! Our Workshop is equipped with 8+ electric pottery wheels, hand-building facilities, a large slab roller, buckets of tools and heaps of clay just waiting to be crafted into unique creations. We run regular classes throughout the year, weekend workshops, the occasional PA Clay Day, as well as offering private & custom experiences, depending on availability.
2020 at a glance:
2020 marks our 5th year in the new/old studio! We're planning for a more active workshop schedule to celebrate. We're still working on finalizing dates, but looking at starting up regular classes late March. We'll offer a few weekend workshops throughout the year, and 1-2 week-long workshops this summer. Drop us a line if any of the above is of interest, and we'll make sure to keep you posted.
Winter/Spring Regular Classes:
This Winter/Spring we plan to offer a Wheel focussed class in addition to Open Studio, suitable for beginners with instruction or return students, hand-building and wheel work welcome. Each session will be 6 weeks long with 3 hour classes/week. Students will learn how to make, trouble shoot, decorate, and glaze wares. Each student will make between 5-10 pieces within a flight of classes. All materials, tools, equipment and firings are provided. If there is enough interest, we plan to offer 2 afternoon classes/week and 1 evening class/week.
