Cinco de Mug-O

Join us Friday, May 4 from 5:30 to 8pm, as we celebrate the history of the drinking vessel.  We hope you will join us to meet the artists, celebrate with friends, enjoy being serenaded by acoustic guitar, and appreciate the creative ceramic art from the resident members and friends of the Indian River Potters' Guild.

A portion of the sales from this event will be donated to EGAD's Outdoor Mural Project.  Come have fun while supporting the arts in Brevard!!

CREATE WITH CLAY

Create a one of a kind personal masterpiece.  We are hosting a 2 hour workshop taught by IRPG Director, Valerie Karas.  In the workshop, you will form a unique puffy heart (approx 7"  by 7").  The heart will be fired, glazed, and fired a second time, ready for pick up about two weeks later.  This is a perfect piece for your walls, or for you to share as a special gift.

This workshop will be offered three separate times this month:  April 2 from 6-8pm, April 23 from Noon-2pm, or April 23 from 6-8pm.  Choose whichever time suits your schedule.

Bring friends, our workshops are held in our airy, friendly studio.  We have a fantastic time together, and you'll love sharing this experience with others.

get excited, sculpt something

Beginning May 2, IRPG will offer a class in Sculpture in Clay with instructor, Suzanne Peiffer.  Gain knowledge of the proportions and basic anatomy of the human head to work toward a genuine likeness of the image. Suzanne guides you in the creation of your clay portrait with methods developed and practiced throughout her notable career as a sculptor and art educator. Suzanne balances her group demonstrations with plenty of individual attention at your workspace to promote a lasting grasp of the concepts and techniques presented.  We are delighted to bring Suzanne's vast experience and talent to our class offerings.

Class will run for five weeks, Wednesday mornings 9am-Noon, from May 2 - May 30.  Class fee is $125, clay is additional.  To register, please call Valerie 321-543-3645, or mail a check to IRPG at 1542 Guava Avenue, Melbourne, FL 32935.  Thank you.
