(PRWEB) May 09, 2018 -- The Potters’ Guild of Frederick (PGF) is a cooperative group of ceramic artists who provide ceramic art for sale to the Frederick Community through the PGF Gallery on 14 S.

In addition, PGF is now holding introductory potter’s wheel classes on the 2nd Saturday of each month for the remainder of 2018. “Take a Turn at the Wheel” is taught by members of PGF at the Frederick Clay Studio located at 119 N.

Details of Take a Turn at the Wheel
The mission of PGF is to promote high standards in ceramic art, to exchange ideas, and to stimulate community interest in the ceramic arts. To support this mission, PGF displays and sells the work of its members in its Gallery, including jewelry, functional, decorative and sculptural pieces. Lucinda Leaman, Secretary and Public Relations Chair for the Guild explained, “This year the Guild is seeking to expand its hands-on outreach to the community. This introductory class is a perfect way for participants to try making clay pieces using the potter’s wheel and work for an evening with experienced potters without investing a lot of time and money to take a beginner’s class.” The cost of the evening is $100 and includes all materials, equipment, instruction, two firings and glazes. Completed pieces are usually ready to pick up 3-4 weeks after the event.
