Art for Heart's Sake--non functional art

Artworks community craft and art center, headquartered in Chestertown, has issued its new schedule of clay workshops and classes at its studio now open at the Arts at Still Pond Station on Still Pond Creek in Worton. A variety of classes and an opportunity for independent work are available. New equipment, made possible by a generous donation, gives Artworks a first-class clay studio including a computerized kiln, slab roller, pug mill, and six pottery wheels.

Space at the former U.S. Coast Guard Station in Worton, now The Arts at Still Pond Station, lends itself well to the craft of pottery. Located ten minutes north of Kent County High School, Artworks has the only public clay facility on the Upper Eastern Shore.

“Total Beginner Potters Wheel” with Gia Campana is a four week class meeting on Saturdays from 9:30 to noon, beginning March 6. Learn the basics of “throwing” on the potters’ wheel: how to wedge and center clay and create classic forms such as vases, cups and bowls. Standard glazing and decorating techniques will be introduced.
