New Pottery Class starting at Craft Potters in Hope
There is a 4 week course starting net week Tuesday, 11.8., from 6 – 8 pm, $ 70 for 4 weeks. Clay provided & included on the first night, more can be purchased at the club at cost.
The first two weeks will focus on working with clay, simple techniques to get a feel for it, and making mugs and bowls, slab and coiling techniques.
After that we will focus on sculpture, like animals, birds, etc., or anything that might interest the participants.
This is really a class for beginners to get a feel for clay, the classes will be structured at first, like a step by step guide. You will end up with something beautiful, self made, that you can use!
There is also the possibility of doing a follow up class, maybe with a short break, maybe straight away afterwards, depending on demand.
Maximum 10 participants. To inquire please email info@ctraftpotters.co.nz.

Fast paced comedy!!
I have agreed at very short notice to be involved in a Nelson Fringe Festival show! Alice has turned 65. On her party evening, she nods off watching late-night telly, and wakes in Retirementland. A wacky adventure ensues - the Rat Race sweeps her along and a wry cat asks difficult questions.
A playful kiwi comedy about rediscovering identity, and exploring and embracing life beyond work.
Alice in Retirementland features all your favourite characters in crazy new scenes adapted especially for Alice's latest adventure - rediscovering what is really important to her now that she has reached retirement age.
This mad action will appeal to anyone whether or not they are in a similar stage of life - there will be laughs for everyone as you spot your childhood favourites in their new roles.
This fabulous perennial tale has lost nothing in the re-telling, and promises a great night out for all!
