Our Art for the Heart workshops were so popular, with participants reporting so much enjoyment from the experience that we decided to start a   new project:  Paint-Your-Own Pottery workshops.30407_PYOP_flyer_dads_02

Just in time for Mother’s Day! The Enrichment Center will be hosting two pottery painting workshops at the Multicultural Arts Center, 645 W. Main St. in Merced, CA.

Thursday, April 25th     6-8pm

Saturday, April 27th    12-2pm

Since this is our first workshop, we weren’t sure how much of what type of bisque to order. However, Mother’s Day seemed like a safe theme to focus on cups/mugs, vases, and frames. We designed our selection to provide participants with a variety of styles and prices to choose from. The EC will provide an introduction to the materials, guidance throughout, and everything you need to paint your pottery– glaze (paint), brushes, water, towels.

How it works:

Step 1: Register for one of the workshops.
$9 member / $10 non-member
Register a table of 8 and SAVE 20%
$57.60 member / $64 non-member

Step 2: Purchase your pottery at the workshop
Prices will range from $5 to $20 plus tax.

Step 3: Choose your colors. We’ll give you an introduction to glaze(paint), how it works, and how to get the results you’re
looking for. We’ll set you up with the colors you’ve chosen,
and everything you need to start painting.

Step 4: Paint your pottery. Workshops are 2 hours long. We’ll be available to provide guidance throughout the workshop.  At the end of the workshop, leave your pottery with us, along with your contact information.

Step 5: We’ll fire the pottery in our kiln.  Finished pottery will be ready for pick up by Saturday, May 4th.

Be prepared for Mother’s Day, upcoming birthdays, even get a jump on Father’s Day.
