Black Pottery Night

February 8th, 2025
6PM - 9PM

In celebration of Black History Month, come try your hand at pottery among local Black potters and students. All skill levels are welcome! 

Choose from two offerings:

3-Hour Wheel Throwing “Try-It” Class
Learn the foundations of wheel throwing in this 3-hour class with instructor Maisha Joshua. Registration required here, limited spaces available.

Play With Clay
Join other Black Pottery Night attendees in trying your hand at sculpting and handbuilding with Byrdie’s member and board member Alyx. One piece per person will be glazed and fired by Alyx in any single glaze color of your choice.  Should you be interested in having any additional pieces glazed and fired, the cost is $5 per additional piece.
No registration required, unlimited spaces.

Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.

 

Community Commitment

We donate 20% of Byrdie’s sales revenue each month to a different (usually local) organization doing important social justice, harm reduction, and/or equity work.
