Upcoming Events & RSVPs
The Virginia Clay Festival is coming up! If you haven't been to this yet, it is an amazing event that is definitely worth attending.
Fall Member's Market
We will be having our first Friendly City Clay Member Market, Saturday, November 23rd from 10am-2pm! All members and instructors are invited to join as vendors, and there's no fee to participate. If you've always wanted to sell your work, this is a great way to try it out. We will have information sessions to help you set up your booth, as well as provide payment processing for those who need it.
More information on the logistics of selling will be coming soon, but we wanted to give you plenty of time to start creating. Please let us know if you're interested using the link below, so we can start putting a list together.
Sign Up (you must Sign up by Fri, Aug 30 to take part)
September Member Gathering
Join us Sunday, September 15th from 2-4pm for our second Member Gathering! Bring a snack to share (come hungry), plus we will have some fun activities:
Member Julie Foster will be leading us in some Fall clay projects!
Member Bri Copeland of BC Media will be available to take professional photos of your pottery pieces! Bring 1-2 pieces that you would like photographed (should be small enough to fit inside of a 20'' x 20'' x 20'' lightbox).
RSVP here (RSVP preferred but not required!)
October Pottery Photo Shoot with BC Media!
In addition to the September Member Gathering, Bri is going to hold a special pottery photo shoot on October 26th, 2-4pm. Bring 1-2 pieces that you would like photographed (should be small enough to fit inside of a 20'' x 20'' x 20'' lightbox). If you're planning on joining us for the market, this is a great way to get some photos to help spread the word!
We will also be doing a November Market Q&A at 1pm, before the photo shoot, for those members and instructors who are signed up as vendors.
December Member Solstice Gathering
Mark your calendars for our Winter Member Gathering, Saturday December 21st from 2-4pm. We're planning a potluck with an opt-in white elephant-style luminary exchange in honor of the solstice (bring a wrapped luminary if you'd like to participate). We thought it would be neat to have a luminary to use however you choose to celebrate the solstice later that day.
