SaddleBrooke Greenware Club Classes for 2009

Classes are a great way to learn new techniques as well as to discover products relating to ceramics that perhaps you’ve never used.

We have now posted in the room a tentative schedule of classes for the next six months. Please come into the room and take a look.

You may sign up for classes 30 days before the class date. The Room Monitor will have an envelope for the class where you can list your name and phone number. You must also pay for the class at the time you sign up.

Please note: Because we no longer charge a sitting fee, please do not expect a refund if you miss the class. Our class costs are minimal and only cover the cost of paints. The teachers buy paints based on the number of people who have signed up and, if you don’t show up, the teachers should not be penalized financially.

Unless specified, assume that the class begins at 10:00 AM and will be finished at or before 3:00 PM.

Here are upcoming projects:
