Wednesday 11/4, 6-8pm, Pottery: Butter Dishes

In this class we will explore clay and create something you can use everyday. We will use hand-building techniques to create a functional butter dish that can be used in your home everyday. We will explore many different decoration techniques so your imagination can run wild. So get excited and get ready to put your hands in clay! Meet the Teacher: Norah Clements My name is Norah Clements and I was born and raised in the Charleston area. I graduated from Clemson University in December 2024 (Go tigers!) where I received a double major in Art and Economics. After my fateful first class in ceramics, I fell in love with the medium and couldn’t stay away. I was inspired by the magic of atmospheric kilns and the transformation that clay undertakes as we work with it. I began teaching ceramics at Beyond Basic Life Skills in the summer of 2024, where we work with adults with intellectual disabilities to help them develop a variety of skills so they can achieve anything they set their mind to. My job involves finding adaptive ways to bring the magic of clay into the hands of everyone who comes into my studio. I’m here now to bring that magic into your hands!

We reserve the right to sell, display, auction or otherwise use the artwork at its discretion to benefit the nonprofit.
