If you are like me, you spend a lot of May dreaming up your summer plans, imagining new hobbies to try and places to visit. What are you dreaming up for your summer? Do you want to learn a new skill, express yourself creatively, or make something with your hands? Maybe you want to relax, unwind, and connect with others who share similar interests. Summer is a great time to do all these things because the days are long and luxurious, full of sun and energy!
In May, the summer seems full of potential. There seems to be unlimited time to do everything you want, but come September, I often wonder where the time went. If you are like me, you wonder how you didn’t try that new hobby or take that class. The long summer days are over. School is back in session, and games and events fill the calendar. Make your summer dreams a reality by planning before the season slips away.
You have many choices regarding how to spend your time this summer, and we would be honored if you chose to spend some of your free time with us. At Blue Sage, we offer a variety of class times to work with your schedule. Let us help you look back at this summer with a sense of accomplishment and some tangible proof of time well spent. In a six-week class, you typically make between six and ten pieces of pottery if you are a beginner.
You might wonder if you should take an art class at Blue Sage Pottery this summer. Lots of things make our pottery studio a little different from the rest. We have a lot of experience teaching (over 35 years combined), which means we know how to help you best! Secondly, we make all our glazes from tested and safe recipes and “fire” your artwork to Cone 10. Our glazes are tested and mixed to the proper consistency to get an excellent result every time! The result is well-made high-fired stoneware with food-safe glazes that you can use in your kitchen or feel good about giving to family and friends. Blue Sage Pottery is the only private pottery studio in the Texas Panhandle where you can have your pottery fired in a “high-fire” handmade brick kiln. If you want your pottery to look professional, you will want a studio potter to fire your work for you!
If you want to get creative this summer and make beautiful pottery in a historic building on Rt. 66, sign up for our classes now. Classes begin June 10th. Spaces are limited because we have many returning students. Reserve your spot by signing up today. Come September, you will be so glad you did!
