Bring your favorite person and make something together!
Every Saturday night, Groundworks Art Lab hosts a hands-on Date Night in one of our studios—clay, printmaking, blacksmithing, or woodworking. No experience is needed!
CLAY DATE NIGHT
Our host will get you set up on pottery wheels for a few hours of dirt and fun. Make a piece, we'll glaze and fire your favorite one, then give you a call when it's ready in about four weeks. For any eadditional pieces you would like glazed and fired, there is a $5 fee per piece to cover finishing costs. This can be paid the night of the event.
Clay and tools included. Wear or bring clothes you don't mind getting dirty!
Saturdays, 7:00pm - 9:00pm
