Clay, snacks, laughs – what more could you want?  All member welcome to attend, you do not need to be ceramic qualified to attend.

Join us in the ceramics studio for a playful, no-pressure afternoon where the goal is simple: have fun, get your hands messy, and learn a thing or two along the way.

Our resident ceramicists Bob and Yvon will kick things off with a lively skillshare and demo, sharing their favorite tricks. Then it’s your turn – grab some clay and see what you can create!

Did we mention this is Blindfolded Sculpting?  All the more fun and laughs!

Challenge Prizes!

Never touched clay or sculpted? Perfect – come try it out just for fun.  Along the way, you’ll meet fellow Forge members, swap ideas, share a few laughs, and maybe pick up a new technique that works for you.

We’ll have drinks, snacks, and plenty of good vibes – all you need to bring is yourself.  Clay for the Challenge will be provided.

Why You Should Attend:

  • Learn from skilled ceramicists in a relaxed, friendly setting.
  • Meet new people and connect with fellow makers.
  • Try your hand clay sculpting, no matter your skill level.
  • Enjoy a creative break filled with laughs, snacks, and clay.
