This Winter at Clay Space:We’ll be offering TWO new classes! Terri May will be offering a Wheel Class for beginners; and a Wood-Fired Soda Kiln class will be offered by Karen Perkins and Lynn Pedersen, our Collaboration instructors, in cooperation with Jesse Jones of Pleasant Hill Pottery. Ceramics classes at Clay Space are a great deal that can’t be matched elsewhere in Eugene! They offer an excellent introduction to the studio; provide an opportunity for instruction and teacher guidance; and include daily access to working in the studio. There are other ways to use the studio! If you would like to make Clay Space a part of your regular schedule, we have a month-to-month membership, as well as a 3-month membership option. There are some great benefits to having a membership, including unlimited access to Clay Space during normal business hours. That means there's no limit on how much time you can spend creating! Ten-packs and day passes are another easy, flexible way to use the studio. One ten-pack gives you ten day-long visits to the studio for you to use at your convenience. Ten-packs can also be shared — so why not get your friends together and come in for a fun clay day! While you're at the studio, be sure to check our our two current exhibits. We are hosting a gallery showing of wood-fired pottery by Jesse Jones of Pleasant Hill Pottery and a gallery of artwork by two studio artists, Phoebe Cole Gordon and Renée Manford. We are also hosting the David Stannard Archive — a display of pottery and educational materials in memoriam of David Stannard, a Eugene, OR and Fairbanks, AK potter who sourced all of his materials locally. Curated by Noel Osheroff, the archive includes papers, pots, and research. It's a fascinating educational resource.
