Are you comfortable with your clay abilities and just looking for a place to work and improve your skills? Join us in the Morse High School Ceramics Studio and start making all those things you have been dreaming up! This is not an instructor lead class, but the instructor will be on site working in case you need something. $65 for materials and studio fee, payable to instructor, must be paid on the first night of class. *Purchasing additional clay: The fee is an additional $65 to cover the firing, glazes and other consumables used during class. Please note: If you miss a class, you cannot make-up the class at another time. The ceramics schedule is very tight and these classes are usually full. Thank you for your understanding!

Chris Toy will be in the house providing expert hands-on instruction and lots of fun!  Learn how to season, care for, and use a Chinese wok and cleaver.  You’ll take home a specially selected kit with a seasoned wok appropriate for all heating sources, long handled wok spatula, a sharpened professional restaurant grade cleaver, honing steel, an edge guard, a large cutting board, and one of Chris’ popular cookbooks. (kit valued at over $200).  Of course, to learn all these steps, there must be food involved!  Bring a container for leftovers! Chris Toy is a retired Maine educator, cooking instructor, author, and Registered Maine Guide. He also enjoys beach combing, where he finds his craft supplies. When he’s not cooking he creates rustic upcycled crafts by combing the coastline for driftwood, beach stone, and recycled wire from political signs. His work can be viewed on Facebook at Acadian Driftwood Arts.

Mixed media, such as inks-glue-watercolor-paints, may be used in class. Please bring an apron if concerned about your clothing. If you are curious and/or gifted in using your hands creatively, this is the class for you. *Please arrive a few minutes early, as to not disrupt a prompt start to class and instruction. All materials needed will be provided by the instructor. A $10 materials fee is expected at the first class (cash only please).

Excellent writing is almost always the result of a strong writer’s voice. But what, exactly, is that voice and how do we find it? We will use specific, targeted writing prompts to help unearth your own writing voice, and you will learn how to strengthen it, and use it to your advantage in all your creative writing. We will look at examples of voice in published works, do LOTS of in-class writing, and create a safe space to share aloud. BRING – a laptop or plenty of paper and pen.
