This is a two day workshop. Please take note of the dates and times. Pottery is a process that often requires time between steps to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Tuesday, January 22, 6-8 pm 

Friday, January 25, 6-8 pm

On the first day students will learn basic beginning skills for hand building ceramic objects without a pottery wheel. They will create and carve designs into the project of their choice and then leave it to be bisque fired.

On the second day the students will glaze their project. The item will then be placed in the kiln for their final firing.

Students will receive their project later in the week after they have been fired and cooled.

Here’s a little bit about our pottery instructor, Aurora Lucas…straight from her!

“Jill-of-all-trades; I’m a mother of 4, wife of 1, and artist/healer/hippy in my soul! We live on a small farm with a huge garden, 7 Donkeys, 2 mini horses, 8 goats, 2 pot-bellied pigs, 2 cats, 3 dogs, and a partridge in a pear tree! I draw most of my inspiration from nature and embrace organic shapes in my pottery pieces. Wonky is wonderful!”

This fundraiser will be taking place at Sunny Hills Church, located at 973 N 4th St, Wytheville, VA 24382

For anyone that is unfamiliar with Copper Crest Farm’s Riding Therapy Program, here is a short description:

The purpose of the Copper Crest Riding Therapy Program® is to provide recreational therapeutic riding and driving for children and adults with physical handicaps, mental impairments, and/or emotional disorders. Specific activities and exercises associated with horseback riding and driving help strengthen abilities and reduce limitations of each individual participant.

The money received from this fundraiser will help to support this program in our community. Come on out and paint for a wonderful cause!
