Learn to throw ceramics on a wheel! Saturdays, October 25, November 1, 8, 22, from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., with the last class of the series from 10 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. In this 4-week course, 3-hour per class series, you’ll build a strong foundation in working with clay on the pottery wheel. Instructor Shachi Shah will teach you how to prepare clay, center it on the wheel, and create forms like cylinders, bowls, and mugs. You’ll also be introduced to trimming techniques and adding surface details like handles and texture. After a break to allow your work to be bisque fired, you’ll return for the final session to glaze and complete the cycle from raw clay to finished ceramic. This is a slow-paced, supportive class where exploration and experimentation are encouraged. Whether you’re brand new to clay or returning after a break, you’ll be guided at your own rhythm — with plenty of space to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow your confidence on the wheel. Projects will be ready to pick up 3-4 weeks after the last class. Beginners welcome. Ages 16+ years We recommend that each student bring an apron to wear and an older towel or a cloth rag. • Military, first responders and sibling discounts. • Scholarships available. • Homeschool funds accepted. • If this class is full, join the Interest List to be notified. • If you would like to be notified of future offerings, join the Interest List to be notified when new dates or spaces are available.

Denja Harris opened her first solo museum exhibition this week at the Oceanside Museum of Art. Her soft sculptures explore perceptions of being a Black woman and invite viewers to embrace the unknown.

The Meyer-Doran house is more than a century old, with a leaking and rotting roof that was letting animals get in. The new roof is part of the city's effort to restore the historic property.

Join us for a thoughtful morning of journaling, sketching, and creative reflection. Begin with an educator-led exploration of the Museum’s galleries, where you’ll engage in guided writing and drawing activities inspired by the art around you. Using prompts rooted in themes from current exhibitions, you’ll have space to pause, observe, and express your thoughts through words or sketches in your own journal. Afterward, head to the Museum Library to personalize your journal cover with decorative elements or create a journal spread. Whether you’re starting fresh or returning to continue your journal practice, this is a chance to deepen your connection to art, and to your own creativity.
