Kitchen Capers: Functional Pots for the Kitchen and Table

This class will focus on producing pots for the foodie in all of us. Students use several forming methods to make functional, food-safe pots, including tumblers, mugs, plates, and serving dishes – all in less than a week. Monday and Tuesday will be spent making the pieces, and Friday glazing pots and loading the kiln. Pots will be fired the weekend after class, so arrangement must be made for pick-up or delivery of finished work. Clay, glazes, and firing are included. Also, Open Studio time is included Monday and Tuesday of the class.

He works in his home studio overlooking Sanford Lake in Benzie County. John and his wife Amy Stevens own and operate Glen Lake Artists Gallery in Glen Arbor.
