Have you always wanted to learn how to make beautiful pottery, but were just too busy or not sure how to get started? Well, now is your chance! You don’t have to know anything about pottery, or you can know a lot. It’s all about having fun, making new friends, learning a new craft or improving on your current skills. The pottery club usually meets on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month. The club will meet from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. You don’t have to be a member of the Art League to join. You must be at least 16 years old (no exceptions). Cost for Art League members is $5.00 per class or $7.00 per class for non-members. Supplies will be available for purchase. Sue Moudy will be the instructor.
