Lakeside Pottery is excited to inform you that we are now affiliated with the Stamford Museum and Nature Center and in this partnership, Lakeside Pottery will conduct classes and special events for the museum's community. 

 

Stamford's nature Center spring exhibition focuses on art in its purest form, as it examines the work of one of the most important figures in the art world, the French sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840 - 1917). The words "master" and "masterpiece" have lost some of their currency through sloppy, careless overuse. Not so in this case.

 

Given the Museum's focus on sculptural forms during its exhibition Rodin: In His Own Words, Selections from the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation, The Stamford Museum & Nature Center is teaming up with Lakeside Pottery to offer two wonderful beginner pottery programs:

 

5-week After School Children's Program
Tuesdays, March 17 to April 14
4:15PM - 6:15PM, age 7-11

This five-week children's pottery program is designed to instruct children in the art of pottery in a professional pottery studio. Students will work with clay using the potter's wheel, hand-building / sculpturing, glazing and other pottery making methods. Several creative and fun projects will be taught by Lakeside Pottery's accomplished artists/teachers. No prior ceramics experience is required.

6-week Adult Hand-building / Sculpting Beginners Pottery Program

Tuesdays March 10 to April 14
7:00PM to 9:30PM

In this six-week session, students will discover the diversity of shape and form as they create both functional hand-built pieces and sculpture in a professional, spacious and conveniently located pottery studio. Students will meet at the SM&NC for the first class for some wine and cheese and behind-the-scenes tour of Rodin: In His Own Words, Selections from the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation, with Rosa Portell, the Museum's Curator of Collections. For the remainder of the program, students will learn pottery making techniques as they work with slab, extruded pieces, coil, and other methods. Participants will be encouraged to expand on what they have learned and take projects in their own direction.
