Quail Creek residents and staff are welcome to sign up for POTS Studio certification class sessions in General Studio Operations which will begin on January 12. All certification classes will continue throughout the month of January and will continue to be scheduled for February and throughout open hours as need arises.
Open hours for the POTS Studio are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. and Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 a.m. until noon. A Monitor will be on duty to welcome you and help you get involved with this new Quail Creek creative activity.
Take a look at the calendar on the POTS website at www.potss.org. The weekly and monthly schedule of the Ceramics Club and the POTS Studio is listed for you to read or print out. Residents can also sign up for membership during open Studio hours. The membership fee for the year is $24 or prorated on a monthly use for part time residents.
The Studio is encouraging residents to sign up for volunteer positions to help the Studio run smoothly. Committees inviting your help are Monitor Committee, Membership Committee, Equipment and Facilities Committee, Supplies Committee, Publicity and Website Committee and other positions. The POTS Studio Board is also looking for a secretary. Signup sheets will be available during open Studio times.
Beginners are our specialty. Members are welcomed at all levels, advanced to absolutely no experience in working on the potter’s wheel, hand building with clay and making clay sculpture. Highly qualified and experienced instructors will be conducting the basic Certification Class sessions as well as forming classes for further advancement and introduction to the many facets of making projects in clay.
