Join us for a fun and hands-on pottery class designed for beginners and intermediate level enthusiasts. Whether you're a complete novice or have some experience with clay, this class is perfect for you. Our skilled instructors will guide you through the entire process, from shaping clay to glazing your masterpiece.

Time: 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Location: H.O.M.E. Co-op Pottery Studio

During this interactive session, you'll learn essential Hand-building pottery techniques such as pinch pots, coil and slab construction and gain practical skills. Whether you want to make functional items like bowls and mugs or explore your creativity with sculptural forms, this class offers a supportive environment for experimentation. In this two hour class you will create one or two pieces that we will bisque fire in our kiln after the class and once the clay is dry. You can sign up for another class to glaze/paint your piece or you can take your piece home after it has been fired.

No need to worry about bringing any materials; we'll provide all the necessary tools and supplies.

H.O.M.E. Inc.

H.O.M.E., Inc. was founded in 1970 by Sr. Lucy Poulin and other community members. In the beginning, handcraft studios were created as a means for low-income families in rural Hancock County to earn extra income through hard Maine winters. Community members produced items from their homes to sell at the Craft Store which is located on H.O.M.E.’s 23-acre site in Orland and that program continues on today. Now, more than 50 years later, needs of local citizens have led to programs of service tailored to respond in positive and effective outcomes, i.e. shelters for those experiencing homelessness, affordable daycare, organic gardens, a food pantry and soup kitchen, plus programs to support a house construction and repair effort that has built 53 homes for low-income families.
