'Cool Ceramics' at the Atlanta Public Library

[September 22, 2012]  ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Public Library's Lively Arts program will kick off on Thursday with a ceramics workshop from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the library. Led by Heather Rogers, "Cool Ceramics" is designed for ages 14 and up.

Participants will choose from among three shapes, learn about painting color and technique, and create an original piece of their own. All finished pieces will be fired by Artful Designs in Bloomington and returned to creators for display in their own homes or offices. Ceramic art makes great gifts, too, so it's an opportunity to get an early start on holiday shopping.

A "way cool" workshop, this is also an opportunity to get together with friends and family, explore your own creativity, see what others design, and make something beautiful.

Space is limited, so sign up early to ensure your spot. There is a small charge for the workshop to cover the cost of materials, and registration is required. The deadline for registration is Monday. Contact the library at 217-648-2112 for more information and to sign up.
