Are you curious about clay but a total a beginner? Not sure where to start? We have three great options this fall. Ceramics 101: A Beginner’s Guide to Clay had sections on Monday evenings, 6-9pm and Tuesday mornings 9:30-12:30. This class is a great survey of the pottery wheel, basic handbuilding techniques and an introduction to glazing. This class is perfect for those folks who have never touched clay, never done anything art related at all, and those who may have done some clay classes in their distant past. Some folks also take this class a couple of times because we learn A LOT.
The other option is Exploring Handbuilding on Wednesday afternoons, 1-4. This class is a little slower paced, focussing on the handbuilding techniques of slab, coil and pinch, and how they can be combined. Glazing is also covered. This class is good for beginners, advanced beginners and intermediate students. Alexa will meet you where you are.
Weather Cancellations: We follow the Bourne Public School closings. In the case of a 2 hour delay, presume classes are being held unless you receive an email.
We offer private lessons as scheduling allows. Our schedule is busy, but call 978-399-8869, or email sarah@meetinghouseclay.com to discuss. If you are a current student looking to work on specific skills, we will try our darnedest to make it happen. If you are new to the Meetinghouse, we will try to squeeze you in, but classes are a surer option.
Gift certificates available in all denominations! A great gift for that person you just really need to get out of the house a few hours a week.
Where creativity is fostered through clay and community.
Who we are & what we do
Our bright, sunny workspace was once a church, and that sense of positive energy and collaboration still infuses the Meetinghouse experience: Here, everyone can meet to “play with clay.” We nurture beginners of all ages, challenge advanced students, and encourage our community members to come together and push themselves creatively.
We do this through classes, workshops, artist studio rentals, and regular sales events. Please check out all we offer—and if you want to talk further, Meetinghouse director Sarah Caruso is just an e-mail away.
Stay in Touch: Sign up for Meetinghouse E-mails.
Sarah regularly sends out an e-mail announcing new online resources, news from Meetinghouse artists, and a recipe for those needing not just artistic but culinary inspiration. It’s free—click here to stay in touch with the Meetinghouse community.
Programming supported by the generosity of The Cape Cod Potters, Inc. and The Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, and The Bourne Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by The Mass Cultural Council.
