Learn basic coil-building and sculpting methods to bring figments of your imagination to life. Whether you’re looking to create small-scale sculptures, add decoration to your functional work or learn a new material, this 6-week class is conducive to expression and experimentation. This class is built for beginners with little to no experience in hand-building with clay. Be ready to start building on the first night!

We're so excited to announce our upcoming gallery show, 𝘚𝘔𝘜𝘎! 𝘈 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘊𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘔𝘶𝘨𝘴 𝘣𝘺 𝘗𝘩𝘪𝘭 𝘙𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯 on display March 13 - April 1 at both our Birnberg Fine Art Gallery at Capp Center St. Paul & Tychman Shapiro Gallery at Sabes Center Minneapolis!

𝘚𝘔𝘜𝘎! features a collection of 100 newly commissioned mugs by local ceramicist Phil Raskin, created exclusively for this exhibit. Throughout the exhibit, community members are invited to exchange a numbered ceramic mug with one from their own personal mug collection. At the end of the exhibit, Raskin’s mug collection will be dispersed into the community and replaced with mugs from homes around the community.
