Try It Night! January: A one-time class to try the wheel
Want to try the pottery wheel? Join us for a fun evening of craft and community at Community Clay in RiNo!
No need to bring anything with you except your creativity! We provide aprons, clay, tools, and an encouraging atmosphere. This is a one-time event. We will fire your piece in the kiln, glaze it for you, and have it ready for pickup in about 3 weeks.
When: Friday, January 16 @ 6:00-8:00 pm
Where: 3349 Blake St., Denver, CO
Solo Exhibition, by Artist in Residence, Ally Grimm
COMPRESSION celebrates the conclusion of Community Clay’s debut residency program with artist Ally Grimm (A.L. Grime).
As a muralist, Grimm came into the residency program as a blank slate, ready to learn various techniques through Community Clay’s educational program. She was given unrestricted access to the studio to experiment and find her voice in a new medium.
Date: Saturday, January 17
Time: 5:00-8:00pm. Artist's talk at 6pm
Location: Community Clay, 3349 Blake Street, Denver
This closing exhibition will feature a mural painted by Grimm in the studio entryway alongside a selection of ceramic works created during her time in residence.
Join us for food, drinks, and art on Saturday, January 17. The artist will be in attendance and ceramic pieces will be available for purchase.
3 Day Korean Wheel Throwing Masterclass (Feb. 20-22)
Join us for an intensive 3-day masterclass where Kwak Kyungtae will share and teach the traditional techniques of Korean wheel throwing. Classes will be taught by Teacher Kwak with his two apprentices, providing an excellent teacher to student ratio. This is a rare opportunity and we will be his only stop in Colorado!
Feb 20-22, 6 hours of instruction per day
Potluck Pottery

Choose either holes to hang your piece on your wall or magnets for your fridge!
Sunday, January 18, 6-8 PM
