Front Porch Gallery presents "Tiny Creative Habits: Celebrating Life in the Everyday" During 2024 through multiple art making programs, we invited the community to uncover the profound impact of small changes on a path to fulfillment. We asked them to discover how inventing in tiny habits of creativity can enrich lives and lead to significant transformation. Explore the magic that occurred when ordinary moments were ignited with creative sparks and experience a gallery full of the resulting creations of the community. Throughout the year Front Porch Gallery worked with partners to implement meaningful, arts-based workshops to produce this exhibition. This interactive program served as a platform for every participant, regardless of their age or abilities, to create, share and connect through art. The results are spectacular! Gallery Hours: Wednesday – Friday (11 a.m. – 5 p.m.); Sat (11 a.m. – 4 p.m.) Front Porch Gallery on Facebook / Instagram

With a main focus on functional pottery, beginner students will learn how to use the equipment in the studio and how to use the wheel while more advanced students will further use the wheel as a tool to create work made partially or entirely from thrown forms. All students will be encouraged to experiment with surface and altering techniques to transform their work from pots to functional works of art. Students will leave the class with finished work they can use at home that’s dishwasher safe! All students receive one month of FREE MEMBERSHIP at the ICA ceramics studio following the conclusion of the course.
