Join us at Groundworks Art Lab's Date Night! Our instructors will get you set up and working together on potters' wheels for a few hours of dirt and fun.

Make a piece, we'll glaze and fire your favorite one, then give you a call when it's ready in 4-6 weeks.

For any additional pieces you would like glazed and fired, there is a $5 fee per piece.

Batik is an ancient technique using wax to make resist designs and patterns on fabric, then dyeing the fabric with beautiful procion dyes! The possibilities are endless! In this two-day class, you will learn a variety of ways to apply the wax and dyes, creating pieces that can be worn, used to make functional art, or mounted as wall hangings. We start by experimenting with the techniques and then create a finished product of your choice.
