Ever wanted to try your hand at ceramics? Now’s your chance! Join us on March 13th from 6–830 PM in the AX Workshop Room for a hands-on, one-night-only workshop where you’ll create your very own artisanal mug!
Guided by AX Artist-in-Residence Jen Pilon, you’ll learn step-by-step techniques to shape, design, and personalize your piece, making it truly one-of-a-kind. No experience? No problem! Jen will walk you through the process, ensuring you leave with a beautifully crafted mug to call your own. Once fired in our kilns, your finished piece will be ready for pickup at a later date.
