    Clay-munnity Night!

    Waterville · Elmhurst Pottery Studio, 104 Kennedy Memorial Dr

    Clay-munnity Night brings the studio community together to take a break from the wheel and workbench and simply connect. Whether you are a longtime regular, a past participant, or brand new to the space, this every-other-month gathering emphasizes relaxed conversation, meeting fellow creatives, and getting to know the studio. Hosted by Rose and Scott, it is a social evening only, with no active clay work or throwing. Guests are invited to bring a piece they are proud of for an informal show and tell, whether it is a glaze win or a form that could use a second opinion. Coffee and tea will be available, and bringing a snack or potluck dish is entirely optional. It is also a welcoming chance for anyone curious about pottery to ask questions and learn more about what the studio offers. Attendance is free, and registration is requested to help plan refreshments. When completing the online form, follow the prompts through to Pay to finalize the booking, and no charge will be made.
