Learn how to make a slab-built mug in this two-part class. Learn basic slab building techniques such as rolling slabs and joining parts. The first class is where you build your piece. The pieces need to dry fully and be fired (the process takes two weeks). Then come back to glaze your mug. If you cannot make the second class email us to set up a more convenient time.

Learn how to make a pinch pot planter or mug. Learn basic pinching techniques to form clay as well as making and joining handles. The morning part of the class will give us 2 hours to build your pot. We will then break for lunch for an hour and have two more hours in the afternoon to learn how to decorate your piece using underglazing and some basic carving/sgrafitto techniques. After about a week they will be bisque fired and I will put a clear coat of glaze on them and do their final fire so you can come and pick them up. Expect them to be finished 2-3 weeks after the class is over. Firing schedules can be weather dependent. (The clay used in the example will not be the color clay used in the class. It often has glaze issues.)

Laura Leigh is a multi instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and story teller from upstate NY. From the sweeping landscapes of farm country, Laura's voice echoes old timey Appalachian mountain music with the early days of country western ballads, and a big old love for rock and roll. Her songs are authentic tales of small-town USA and the love and loss we all experience. Beginning her music career playing accordion in various bands in the Hudson Valley including Mister Roper, The Roadside Blues Band, Wise Roots, Swampfoot and more- Laura released her first solo album, "Livin' In Cambridge" in 2021. This album paints pictures of the small town she grew up in with both light and dark tones, and explores the feelings of reinventing yourself in the place of your roots. The record is available on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, and Bandcamp. She is now working on a project called Rock City Junction with Denise Parent (The Deadbeats, Brown Eyed Women) and David Chapman (Cold Flavor Repair, Rivergrass).

Figures on Vibrating Ground explores the ways our emotions and imagination affect the ways in which we perceive our surroundings. Through the use of vibrant color, visible brush strokes and intuitive imagery the fluctuating nature of life is revealed.

Figures on Vibrating Ground features the work of three Hudson Valley artists whose work is integrally connected. Rick Price is a painter, muralist, and arts educator at the Art Effect and the Harvey School based in Beacon. Morgan Suter is a painter, arts educator at the Art Effect, and recent graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), where she received her BFA in painting. Lastly, Chloe Mosbacher is a multimedia artist and painter based in Highland who is currently pursuing her BFA in painting from MICA. The work of each artist falls within the long tradition of figurative painting, but each utilizes saturated colors and particular paint applications with visible strokes to abstract the figure in their own unique ways.
