Studio Potter Program
The Studio Potter Program offers free sessions to LPG members. New members need to take at least one Studio Potter Program session per year as part of their membership contract. This is a wonderful way for members to learn from our very knowledgeable instructors the various stages of studio maintenance, kiln firings, glaze making and how to recycle your own clay. There are handouts for each of the sessions and each session is composed of a theoretical as well as practical component. The benefits of the sessions are to contribute toward the volunteer hours to help around the London Clay Art Centre to facilitate a smooth running studio space as well as learn what you need to know to set up your own studio space.
The following is a list of the upcoming dates for the various sessions:
Glaze Making, Sunday, July 30th, 1-4 p.m.
Once one has conquered the making of pieces and decides on finding glazes to suit their pieces, this session will inform you of the various important components involved in making a glaze. You will learn the importance of fluxes, stabilizers, silica and colorants.
Reclaim, Sunday, August 27th, 1-4 p.m.
After awhile of making pots, one realizes that there is much clay that needs to be recycled due to unfortunate clay throwing incidents, damaged greenware as well as trimmings.

MECA - Open Learning Member Session
This is a very informal session where a member will volunteer some time to teach other members a new skill, share a new tool, demonstrate a new method/technique, etc. This is a learning and social get together for all members of all skill levels. Coffee and tea will be provided. Please feel free to bring snacks - you are not obligated to do this, but it would be appreciated.
