Connect thru Art - Pottery - February 2025

Connect thru Art is a free program open exclusively to military-connected members of our community.

Being in the military comes with unique challenges, and we believe that exploring your creativity can help you face those challenges. Clay is a unique medium that is both calming, invigorating, and fun!

This is a 2-week class:

Your pieces will be fired and finished, and you will be notified when your pieces are ready to be picked up.
