Contact clare.zuraw@finlandiafoundation.orgFor those who want to go out on a Friday night and have some fun this night is for you. A twist on what a date night can be. Bring a date and work on a pottery wheel together to make a mug\, cup or bowl. Your date can be anyone\, a spouse\, partner\, friend\, family. Folks will be able to pick out a glaze color and the work will be glazed and fired for them. Though you certainly can just come for the fun and not the finished piece. For the couples that think wheel throwing is not for them\, hand building is an option. Date night clothes are not recommended. Everyone should wear clothes that they do not mind getting a little dirty. Though couples will be working with clay maybe for the first time\, this night is about having fun and not necessarily learning or becoming proficient in working with clay. There will be some guidance from the instructor.
