Plum Island Transfers came for the day to TCS to teach a large group of students the tricks and versatility of her beautiful transfer designs.

Minus 19 degrees outside! But it’s hot in here for the much-anticipated Hayne Bayless workshop. We are all going home with the tips and tricks to make our own tools and fabulous patterns.

Our first TCS field trip was fiery! 20 of us headed out to Shelburne Falls, MA for part two of our soda firing workshop with Ben Eberle.

Fabulous workshop with Ben Eberle in preparation for our soda firing weekend this November! His handles may take 30 minutes but boy are they beautiful.

So amazing to see the sketching, planning, and patience that goes into Katie Bosley Sabin’s intricate, precise work. Her stunning pieces and process made for a super-inspiring workshop!

The pandemic won’t keep us down! We pivoted to online classes, and now we’ve tackled an online workshop to help our students learn to sell their gorgeous works!

Ruth let us in on all the secrets of her intricately glazed surfaces during her Glazing with Latex Resist workshop.

What’s better on a rainy day than 20 students cozied up for an Intro to Surface Design in Clay Workshop!!!

Martha Grover made it look easy this weekend! What a joy to watch her throw and alter with such fluidity and grace. Our students made some stellar Martha-inspired pourers.

TCS students were lucky enough to have one last hands on workshop with Stuart Gair before he sailed off to the Archie Bray. We loved having him as a teacher for this last year and we can’t wait to see where he goes next.

Arthur Halvorsen’s tissue transfers were a hit! There’s nothing quite as fun and whimsical as Arthur’s surfaces, and we’re thrilled he spent the day sharing them with us!

Bas relief tiles and adorable animal painted surfaces are Hannah’s specialty, and she taught us all some of her trade secrets this weekend. How cute is this rhino?
