🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 Happy Pride from District Clay! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Modern Pride started when patrons of the Stonewall Inn threw shot glasses and bricks at those who raided the LGBT+ bar. Come try throwing pots of your own!
In these specialty One Shot! workshops, District Clay Center is holding a safe space for all members of the LGBT+ community to try throwing at the wheel. During you class, you'll get a wheel, clay, a nice instructor, and 2.5 hours to try your hand at the pottery wheel. You may be mesmerized... or not. The wheel looks easy but it can seem to have a mind of its own. We do promise that you'll have fun. |
