Two Basic Glazing Workshops

both on Friday March 15 -  9 to 10:30 am  and  10:45 am to 12:15 pm

Basic brushing techiques will be taught by Anne Shulenberger, using glaze and/or underglaze on bisque-fired ceramic pieces. These classes are meant primarily for beginners, or for those who feel rusty and need a refresher on simple glazing. (Please do not sign up if you have taken it in the last 2 years.) Participants should bring brushes and one or two of their own bisque-fired pieces to be glazed.

Sign-up lists for these classes will be posted on the white board near the front windows by February 26. Note: when signing up, a deposit check for $10 made out to CAC should be placed in the wooden box below to hold your place.  When participants come to the workshop, their deposit will be refunded (if someone does not show up, however, it will be forfeited).

Ceramic Club's next Orientation Class:


Our next Orientation Class will be held in August of 2019.
This Class consists of four sessions, from 10 am to 2 pm each day, on August 7, 21, 24 and 31 (4 Wednesdays). You must attend all four sessions of this Orientation Class in order to join the Rossmoor Ceramic Arts Club - no exceptions!

Please come to the Ceramics Studio on Tuesday or Wednesday, June 25 & 26,
to put your name into the Registration Lottery. NOTE: A check for $30, made out to CAC, must accompany your Lottery registration.
Participants for the August Orientation Class will be selected and
announced on June 30, on or before 1 p.m. NOTE: All those who are not selected for this class will have their checks returned to them.

The Ceramics Club is very popular and we must limit the Orientation Class size to 15 participants in order to adequately cover all the required material, plus accommodate members, new and existing, within the space. Please understand that it sometimes takes a couple of tries before a person gets into the Orientation Class.
