Dssolvr March 3 Pints and Pottery: MYO Pipes
Date: Monday, March 3, 2025, 6pm-8:30pm (Please arrive early if you plan to order a beverage before class. Plan to end on time.)
Location: Dssolvr Brewery, 630 Rigsbee Ave, Durham, NC 27701
Enjoy a beverage at Dssolvr Brewery in Durham, NC while you design and sculpt your own smokable ceramic pipes! You will be provided with cream-white clay from which you can make two ceramic pipes in 2 different styles: traditional bowls and chillums.
I will teach you how to apply underglaze decal images to personalize each pipe, or you can carve and stamp designs. A wide variety of designs will be offered such as fungi, plants, and animals, and some are pictured here.
At the end of class, I will take your pipes to my studio to be fired, waxed, clear-glazed, and fired again. They will be dishwasher safe. Your pipes will be available for pick-up at Dssolvr in Durham once they are finished. This process usually takes 3-4 weeks.
***Very important*** Pottery is a bit of science and a lot of physics, and random things happen in the creation process. I will try my absolute best to care for your creation from start to finish, but strange things do happen as slabs dry, such as cracking and warping. I will explain how you can likely prevent them while we are sculpting, but I’m always surprised by what clay will do. By signing up for this class, you accept the fate of the kiln gods, and there are no refunds or replacements for projects that do not survive the process.
Your pipes will be available for pick-up at Dssolvr in Durham once they are finished. Please choose local pickup/delivery for the shipping option to avoid shipping fees.
