Winter Gift-Making Extravaganza

What better gift than one made by hand? With numerous end-of-theyear holidays and celebrations on the calendar, Northern Clay Center presents the Winter Gift-Making Extravaganza. You bring your gift-giving list and your creativity and we’ll provide the materials necessary to bring your clay gift dreams to fruition. For all ages (parents must accompany youth under 12 years of age). You can expect to make up to three clay gifts in this session (select from cookie tray, holiday decoration, or drinking vessel), which will be fired and clear glazed, and ready for pickup 2 - 3 weeks after the event.

Looking and Learning

Join us in person and via Zoom for another installment of this show-and-tell series, featuring emerging voices in clay: Akshar Patel and Carley Holzem. The presenters will each share and discuss objects from their personal collections that have inspired and influenced their making or brought joy and new ways of seeing the world through their presence in the artists’ lives. This event will also provide an opportunity for these artists to share where they are at in their making journeys as Early Career Artist Residents through NCC’s artist service program.
