Learn to throw on the potter's wheel in sunny West Petaluma, this summer! Look what I whizzed past on a post two-mile run around the track at Petaluma High this morning:
One of Petaluma's hidden gems, tucked away in a side street at the back of Western Avenue opposite the Elim Church parking lot on Stanley Street - A quite literally Open Studio for you and I to try our hand at a spot of clay therapy!
I loved the concept of throwing open the vintage garage door and sharing of a potter's wealth to the wandering world!
Join Potter, Joan Lindt at her studio to learn the basics of wheel thrown pottery with access to the likes of a slab roller and extruder (?!) to enhance your most fabulous creations.
Four week sessions are best - flexible once a week for two hours a session costs $125 for a month long package, and twice a week for two hours a session costs $225 for a month long package. Cost of clay, glazing and firing is included in this price.
For more info email Lindt. Students and their families are welcome to participate in Family Tree Pottery's annual pit firing celebration at Dillon Beach at the end of summer!
Oh, and about that two mile run. Having pledged to keep my 11-year-old son company as he conditions himself between sporting seasons this summer, my return to the track marks a five year hiatus from anything remotely related to running. Huffing and puffing my way around eight endless loops, I looked a bit beet-red by the end of my two mile stint, but am slowly keeping pace with the boy!
