25 | Westbrook Village LIVING September 2021WV Pottery Club
“May your hands be full of clay and your hearts be full of imagination.” – Carol Wright
Club members create all different types of pottery including
bowls, vases, boxes, trays, dinnerware, sculptures, totems and wall
plaques. These can be functional or decorative. Many of these
items can be viewed in the window of the studio.
The club always welcomes new members and will give novices an
orientation and introductory lesson to see if they want to continue
pottery and become a member. Classes are offered in both the
techniques of hand building and wheel throwing.
The pottery studio is located at the Lakes Rec Center and
is available to members whenever the rec center is open.
The annual dues are $50.00 and that includes use of all
equipment (slab roller, extruder, wheels, forms etc.) plus
glazes and firings.
If interested please contact Jane Beckman 563-340-3264
or Fran Pagan 601-790-8035.
