@ Good Dirt

 

 

Dear Friends of Good Dirt,

      

This is the last week of our spring term of classes and our 4-week Maymester classes start up again next week.  We have several sections of introductory wheel classes that focus either on cylinder forms like cups and mugs, or open forms like bowls and plates.  These classes are a great way to start in on the wheel or to get back in practice if you’ve been away from clay for a while.  We also have some specialized topics like Majolica tile-making, throwing hollow enclosed forms, decorating pots on the wheel, and finishing the bottoms of pots in creative ways.   Kim is also offering a four-week glass fusing class for those interested in cutting, fusing, and slumping glass in the kiln (a significant savings over four individual glass workshops, too!).

 

Summer camp registration is well under way and some of the earlier weeks are getting full.  Please give us a call to see if your choice of weeks has spaces left and sign up soon to make sure you get your first choice.  That schedule is also available on our website.  A word of caution … be sure to link from our main page, www.gooddirt.net.  If you google our summer camp schedule, you might bring up a previous year’s schedule due to the mysteries of search engine results.  To register, please print out our registration form and send it in (or bring it by) with your check payable to Good Dirt. 

      

New this summer…music lessons!  We will be setting up an air-conditioned private lesson space in the gallery/office section of Good Dirt, and I will be offering a very limited number of 30-minute and 1-hour private lessons on cello and mandolin.

      

 

 

 

Children and adult learners are both welcome and the emphasis will be on fun, playing by ear, and learning to read music.  Good Dirt will also be teaming up with the Folk Studio to offer lessons on guitar, old-time banjo, and fiddle.  Call Good Dirt at 706-355-3161 for info on availability and rates.

 

Last but not least, don’t forget about the Gallery @ Good Dirt when you start looking for that perfect Mother’s Day gift.  We’ve got lots of exquisite vases to make that bouquet of flowers really special.  The Gallery is open daily from 9-5…just enter through the clay studio if the front door isn’t open.  Thanks so much for all your support and come see us soon.

 

Sincerely Yours,

Rob Sutherland

 

P.S. please let us know if you’ve moved from the area or no longer with to receive updates from Good Dirt.  If you can send us an e-mail from address you want removed from our list, we’ll see to it right away.
