Pottery House to Host Weekly Summer Art Program

This week, The Pottery House, located in the Aberdeen Square Shopping Center on Main Street at Route 34, will begin two consecutive eight-week series of summer art classes -- your choice of either a Tuesday or Wednesday series that meets weekly from 10:30 am to noon -- for what they're calling The Pottery House Summer Camp 2009.

At a total cost of only $180 for the series (or $25 each for individual classes), you'll receive all the materials and supplies you need to create creative mosaics (30 June or 1 July), silver clay jewelry (7 or 8 July), pottery painting (14 or 15 July), fused glass art (21 or 22 July), jewelry beading (28 or 29 July), clay handbuilding (4 or 5 August), Sculpey pen holders (11 or 12 August), and decoupage (18 or 19 August). Free drinks and snacks will also be provided. After all, it is summer camp!

When you drop in for a latte this Monday at the Matawan Starbucks or a slice at Trattoria Rustica, be sure to also visit the Pottery House a few doors down and have a look around. Then sign up for the summer camp, which starts soon. I just know there's an artist inside of you waiting to spring forth and create wonderful works of art for the rest of us to enjoy!
