Award-Winning Potter Offers Falls Classes in Lake Mills Studio

I received the following press release that I am happy to post:

Bruce Johnson’s distinctive raku ceramic pieces have been enjoyed by people all over the nation for over 25 years. Johnson is now offering to share his knowledge and technique with others by offering lessons in wheel thrown and hand built ceramics.

“With my years of experience as a full-time artist, I believe I have much to offer those interested in ceramics,” says Johnson, “whether they are just beginning or already experienced in working with clay.” In this unique learning opportunity, students will learn the art of making functional and decorative pottery, both hand built and wheel thrown. The pieces will be fired in food-safe, high-fire glazes, and in the ancient technique of raku firing.

All sessions will take place at Bruce Johnson Clay Studio, 302 W. Campus Street, in Lake Mills, Wisconsin, beginning the week of October 25 2010. The class includes one session a week for seven weeks, 25 pounds of clay, and all glaze materials, including firing. Classes will be held Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6:30pm to 9pm, and Saturday mornings from 10am to 12:30pm. Each class is limited to six students to ensure individual attention for each student.

To register, or for further information, contact Johnson at 920-648-3049 or bruce@brucejohnsonclaystudio.com. Samples of work can be seen on his website, www.brucejohnsonclaystudio.com.
