BEGIN AGAIN: 50 YEARS AND COUNTING
February 7 – December 13, 2026 / Aronson Fine Arts Center
Learn the basics of using the potter’s wheel to make functional clay pieces and non-functional sculptures. Study the fundamental techniques of wedging, centering and raising cylindrical forms such as bowls, cups and vases. Includes an introduction to glazing. Wear old clothes, bring a towel and plan on getting messy!

Get ready to fill Laumeier’s clay studio with bubbles! Release your inner child while experimenting with the colorful and surprising technique of bubble glazing. Using a mix of underglaze, dish soap, and a little air power, you’ll blow bubbles directly onto your own handbuilt clay plate. Watch the bubbles pop and leave behind delicate, lacy designs in layered colors - no two pieces ever turn out the same! Bring your own wine (or other beverage of your choice); light snacks provided. Pick up your finished piece the following week.
