Get ready to party with pottery!
About the “at your place” experience:
I provide all of the equipment and supplies needed to teach a full 120-minute pottery class. Tables, wheels, clay and tools will all be brought to your home, outdoors or indoors ready for fun!
After a wheel-demonstration and lesson, each participant will have the opportunity to make one wheel-thrown pottery piece, and one hand-built piece. The pieces will then be labeled and returned to the artist’s studio after the party to be fired and glazed, then returned to the host within 3-4 weeks. The participants will each receive a labeled bag with their two completed pieces of pottery which they can use for years to come!
All pottery and glazes are food safe and non-toxic after they have been fired in the kiln.
About the “in studio” experience
At my studio in West Islip, learning pottery is very hands on. AKA come dressed for a mess! I offer lessons, workshops, and parties. Below are my two most popular offerings are lessons on the pottery wheel and Mud & Merlot parties.
About the artist/teacher Alison Ryczek:
I love sharing my passion for working with clay with new folks.
I've been making pottery for over 20 years. I use ceramics methods such as hand building, slab work, and traditional wheel thrown pottery. I've also had much experience with various firing techniques including raku, salt firings, and black pottery. I love working out of my home studio and am inspired by functional art that adds beauty to tables and homes. To see more my art, please visit http://www.alisonryczek.com/
In addition to my experience with pottery, I’ve have had 3 major life experiences that allow for me to lead an exceptional service: school teacher, teambuilding instructor, and mom.
