Pottery Lamp-Building Workshop

with Frank DeFabo

Tuesday, February 18 | 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Are you an intermediate potter with experience throwing and centering on the wheel? Join our pottery lamp-making workshop, where you'll learn to create ceramic lamp bases using wheel throwing and altering techniques. We'll cover essential considerations, such as planning for cords, plugs, and lamp fittings during the design and creation process. Participants will have the option to work with a recommended local expert to electrify their lamp bases or to use easy-to-find commercial kits to complete the electrification at home. You will select from several glaze choices that we will apply after we bisque your pieces. Your lamp base will be ready to pick up in about 2 weeks after the class date! (This class is for intermediate potters with a proficiency in centering. If you're a beginner, check out our beginner wheel courses!)

Please Note:

• Tuition is due with registration unless other arrangements are made. If you cancel 0-7 days before the class start date, we are able to refund your tuition ONLY if we can fill your space from our waitlist. We are not able to issue partial refunds or transfer your registration to another class. We apologize for any inconvenience, but we cannot under ANY circumstances refund your tuition once you have started the classes.
• Art is a messy business! Please bring an apron or wear work clothes and shoes that can get dirty with clay/paint/etc.
• Leave your rings, smartwatches, and jewelry at home. Main Exhibit Gallery & Art Center is not responsible for lost or damaged personal items.
  
• We ask that you pick up your projects within 2 weeks of your notification that they're ready. We have so many classes that our space can get quite full with students' work! Any pots left behind after 2 weeks without prior arrangements will be added to our "Adopt a Pot" shelf in our main gallery space.

Thank you for registering!
