Yosuke Koizumi's demonstrations will focus on the spontaneity of Japanese
pottery and include the throwing of a 50 lb bowl, graced by his
trademark frog.

Art in the Vineyard
Clay Space and Elemental Play will be co-managing the ceramics
tables in the Youth Art Arena next weekend, July 4, 5 and 6. Stop by
with your favorite pals, young or otherwise, and engage in some play
with clay. This area is geared to youth, but we'll let you get your
hands dirty too! We have no plans to save creations past the weekend;
this is simply a ?Play with the Clay for Today; Gone Tomorrow?
experience! Look for us there!
Classes Start July 7th!
Our summer class session is starting soon. Beginning Wheel and
Beginning Hand building will be offered as an eight week session or as 2
four week sessions. This means you can sign up for part 1 of these two
classes if that best fits your summer schedule, or, if you already have
gone through the beginning class at Clay Space and want to continue for
only part 2, you can do that. The Intermediate classes and the Terra
Cotta Surface Development class will be offered as 8 weeks only. Have
some fun at Clay Space this summer!
