New Tour: Martha O’Bryan Center
Every once in a while, we take a tour of a ministry partner of Westminster. We have taken trips to Room In The Inn, Renewal House and Matthew 25, and are eager to offer more visits.

Not only do we take a tour of the ministry, but we ride together and share a meal while sharing what we experienced. And, who knows, maybe make a new friend.

Pottery Glazing Classes

Glazing is the second part of the pottery experience. It’s the “magic” part of the process where so much is unknown and out of our control. However, there are techniques that help give us an idea of what it may turn out like.

These workshops are for all levels of experience with clay!

Glazing 101
Fridays, February 6, 13, 20, 27
10:00- Noon

Covers: Introduction to glaze recipes, mixing and specific gravity,
waxing, brushing and pouring techniques, various ways to dip, multiple layers, and troubleshooting

10:00 a.m.-Noon
$40.00 for the four Fridays.
