STOKE Pottery Guild’s Burgers and Bowls Event

STOKE
STOKE’s Pottery Guild has been a big success in acquiring all the best equipment and supplies needed to operate a complete pottery studio but has lacked the number of potential members that we would like.
The STOKE board came up with the idea of Burgers and Bowls to stimulate the public by offering a chance to spend time with our board member and local pottery guru, Teddy Lewis. The event offered potential potters to have a BBQ burger and glaze, or paint, a bowl or cup of their choice.
Over twenty people, youth through retired, did just that. Teddy had already spent the greater part of many evenings throwing some excellent porcelain pottery pieces and had bisque fired them to be ready for the event. After everyone finished their pieces and had gone home, Teddy fired them again, a two-to-three-day process, to set the glaze. The pieces were then ready for pickup.
We were all very happy with the turnout and everyone found out another step into what their possible creation could look like. So if you would like to learn more about the creative world of ceramics, would like to become a guild member, or just contribute to our programs, contact Teddy Lewis at 406-439-9345 or email him at teddylewis65@yahoo.com.
