Day 1 2026 Draft Gathering
An announcement to Nevada Raider Nation shares well wishes during difficult times and confirms a Day 1 draft watch at Westside Pour House. Plans are underway, and additional details will be shared soon.
Westside Pour HouseBeing Creative with Ceramic Clay | Session 3 | 5 Week Series | Thursdays | Beginning April 16th 2026
Session 3 continues a hands-on clay series focused on sculptural handbuilding. Participants will complete two projects, beginning with a guided demonstration to spark ideas, then moving into a student-selected piece chosen from several options. Foundational sculptural methods are introduced on the first day to support both projects. The class is designed to build skills, encourage creative exploration, and lead to a finished sculpture while deepening appreciation for three-dimensional art. Any samples shared are intended as inspiration rather than required outcomes. Those with prior clay experience who did not attend the first two workshops can take part. The series begins with three building-focused meetings, followed by a dedicated glazing class. A make-up or catch-up session is included in the price and requires sign-up. The final meeting features a group critique and pickup of completed work. Instruction is led by sculptor Deborah Mae Corona, who has been mentored by Eric Blome, Anne Stryke, and Wanxin Zhang. She holds an MFA from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and teaches with an emphasis on both technical skill and intuitive development, approaching art as a universal language that can speak for itself. The fee is $150 and includes materials, instruction, and firings. A $20 lab fee will be collected on the first day by the instructor.
