First OPA Showcase Installation Workshop

Our First OPA Showcase Installation Workshop – In March - 2020

Our first OPA Installation workshop to throw “Planters – Plant a Little Love” will take place on the Mt. Hood Community College Campus, Gresham, in the Ceramics Studio building (VA6). John Hasegawa, our workshop coordinator, is opening up the ceramics studio and pottery wheels to throw and hand build planters on Friday March 13th, with two sessions. Then we will trim the pottery on Saturday March 14th, with one session. John will also invite us back to glaze our pottery on Saturday March 21st from 11am – 3 pm.

Friday March 13th

 11am-3pm Session 1

 3pm-9pm Session 2

Saturday March 14th

 11am-3pm Trimming

Saturday March 21st

 11am-3pm Glazing

Every year our OPA potters are afforded these ceramic workshops to create ceramic wares to donate to the OPA Showcase Installation booth to be sold to our constituents to raise money for our OPA “Clay In Education” program to help pay for our potters who teach ceramics in our schools AND for giving out Student Scholarships in Oregon and Washington.
