New classes begin week of April 5th
April 5, 2010
It's cheaper than therapy! Throw yourself into a new hobby! Learn to use a pottery wheel to throw bowls, cups, tumblers, vases and more.

Or try a hand building class and learn to sculpt things by hand. Roll slabs of clay to form boxes, bowls, platters...the sky is the limit.

Go ahead. Sign up. You know you've been wanting to take a class. Why do you keep putting it off? Spending money and time on your kids and family..but none on yourself? Shame on you. Come join us to play with clay. Relieve the stress and use that creativity you've been bottling up inside (or didn't even know you had!) Beginner wheel or hand-building classes offered this session. For more info call Donna at 601-660-2375.

Empty Bowls Raises over $10,000
Posted: 03/18/2009

Our February Empty Bowls Sale raised more than $10,000 for the Natchez Community Stewpot. We were blessed with beautiful weather that drew over 240 people to the grounds of Natchez Clay to enjoy some delicious gumbo while overlooking the river.

Local potters donated over 300 bowls for participants to choose from. It was quite impressive to see them all displayed. Thanks to all the potters who worked so hard to get the bowls made in time for the event. They were beautiful.

A special thanks to Johnny Hicks and Benny Jeansonne for the delicious gumbo. Thanks also to everyone who donated a piece for the silent auction or raffle and to Robert Rasberry for supplying us with some great music that day. And thanks to everyone who purchased a ticket and came out to enjoy the beautiful day with us. Natchez Clay and everyone at the Community Stewpot appreciate you!

Kids Christmas Workshop
Posted: 11/19/2008
In November our studio was host to over 20 kids for the 1st Kids Christmas Workshop. The kids made their angels and ornaments one day, then returned a week later to paint them in colorful acrylic paints. After a clearcoat of acrylic to seal them, we will put a hanger on each ornament and package them in a gift bag for each child. The gift bags will be delivered to their schools before Christmas.
