PLAY WITH CLAY

with master potter Dave Blakeslee 

April 21, 1-5 pm

We’ll gather and get our hands in earth, learning to hand-build a small bowl/candle holder, as well as beads and buttons, using white clay and dyes. 

Cost: $80 for instruction, supplies and healthy snacks.

Our teacher will be Dave Blakeslee. He completed a degree in Ceramic Art at Alfred University in New York, and has been a working potter since 1975. He was a long-standing member of the Bolder Arts and Crafts Coop, and comes to us from his studio on the banks of the Arkansas River. 

"I absolutely loved playing with the matchbox altars and tapping into my creativity. Valerie did a beautiful job of providing a place to come together to share in the joy of “making.”  She had just the right amount of materials to spark one’s  imagination without being overwhelmed by too much and the physical space was delightful with light streaming in south-facing windows. Valerie has a unique and supportive way of nurturing the artist within each of us."  - Anne Knorr
