About this Event
Come join us on the last Thursday of the month for Ceramics Community Art Night! Do you have a small project you'd like to work on in clay? Are you just generally curious about the ceramics facilities and Alchemy's 1255 Wold location? Do you want to hang out and make art in community with other islanders? This is for you!
This is a no-commitment, low cost way to get some artmaking time in. There is no formal instruction during community art nights, but we will have AAC staff monitoring and we can help you if you have questions!
Participants will receive 1lb of clay and have access to the tools needed for hand building.
Ceramics Community Art Nights are held in the ceramics studio on the original AAC campus. Raku will be held outside the studio. Raku firing is dependent on weather - no firings during burn bans or big rain. Directions and parking information will be included in your confirmation email.
Registration: Please register early if you are able, as it helps us to assure that programs meet their minimums in order to run!
Finishing and picking up your work: Participants in Community Art Night are welcome to join us for Wednesday Open Studio, every Wednesday from 5-7, to glaze their work. Completed work can be picked up whenever the studio is open (7 days a week, 7am-9pm). You can check in with the facilitator of Community Art Night about specific timelines around firing and any questions about Open Studio.
Glazing and Shipping for off-island artists: Visiting us from off-island? We can ship your fired work to you for a fee! Studio tech glazing is also an option. Check in with AAC staff to learn more.
Please note: We have our 2026 dates for this published and ready for you to sign up for! There are no Community Art Nights in November or December due to the holidays.
