Join us to make a decorative Paper Towel Holder! Join us to make a decorative paper towel holder! Cleaning up a mess doesn’t have to be unglamorous. Show your creativity and a splash of colour to functional homeware. 

About the Experience

Create a colourful, custom paper towel holder that brings extra charm to everyday clean-ups. Using clay slabs, you’ll explore texture, shape, and building a larger form that comfortably fits a standard roll of paper towels. This is a fun, beginner-friendly introduction to working with slabs, with plenty of room to play, design, and craft something uniquely yours.

Mon. January 12th, 6–8 pm (Patricia Van Asperen)

Wed. Jan.21st, 6-8pm (Linda Kitz)

Learn the basics of hand-building with clay as you create a paper towel holder. This is a fun introduction to working with clay, with plenty of opportunities to get creative and learn how you can continue making pottery at home. A reservation is required to book a spot. Maximum class size is 9 people with a minimum of 6 people to run the class.

Our class includes: clay, tools, glaze, firing, and instruction. All you need to bring is your creativity!

Schedule

We will begin with a demonstration of the fundamentals of hand-building with clay, then you'll get right to it! We’ll provide tools, textures, and inspiration. We reserve 10–15 minutes at the end of class for students to assist with clean-up.

Glaze

Students may choose from three glaze options for their holders. Our staff will glaze your pieces and have them ready for pickup in approximately 3–4 weeks.

Please familiarize yourself with our class policies.

We want you and everyone else in the class to have a swell time! So here are our class policies, designed with everyone's best interests in mind:

• Respect everyone in the class. We all have our strengths & weaknesses, so lets be supportive and kind to one another.
• You are expected to clean up your own mud mess as best as possible within your station. Check out this youtube video.
• Classes start at the time given, so please arrive early enough to get yourself settled in. We recommend 10 minutes.
• If we cancel a class or workshop due to illness or weather, we will do our best to accommodate everyone when we reschedule.
• If you cancel your participation 5 days or more before the first class starts, 100% credit goes towards a future course at Amaranth Stoneware. Cancelled with less than 5 days notice: If we are able to replace your spot in the class, then you'll get a credit towards a future class at Amaranth Stoneware. If we are not able to fill your spot, then you forfeit your payment. We suggest sending a friend instead!
• If you do not show up to the class you have registered for we cannot provide a refund or alternative class for you.
• Full payment must be made before the first class begins.
• Class & Workshop registration is non-refundable but we are happy to offer you class credit to put towards a future date or towards supplies or pottery in the store.
• Classes are for those 12+ years old.
• Classes are subject to cancellation or rescheduling if the minimum number of students is not met. If cancelled due to low participation, a full refund will be offered.
• We will contact everyone via email or phone once pottery is fired and ready for pickup. We also post to our Are My Pots Ready Page on our website when pieces are unloaded from the kiln. Any pieces not picked up for over 1 month after their final firing will be up for adoption.
• Your own clay and tools MUST be taken home with you at the end of your class. Clay and tools left behind after your last class are donated / put up for adoption.
• Lastly: relax, have fun, and GET MUDDY!

Pieces from a workshop are ready in 3-6 weeks and from a multiweek class in 1-3 weeks from your glaze night. Students are contacted by the registration email when pieces are ready. Please visit our Are my Pots Ready Pickup Page if you're unsure if your pieces are out of the kiln!
