Whether you&#8217;re a beginner, a seasoned pro looking for some practice, or on a first date: ClaySpace has a spot for you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">CONTINUING MONDAY, JAN. 16<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">For many of us, the new year brings with it the desire to learn something new, to venture out and try something a little different, or to get back to something that we loved long ago. If you&#8217;re looking for an outlet for your New Year&#8217;s urge, look no further than Erie ClaySpace. The community ceramics studio in Downtown Erie has posted a new schedule of classes and there is plenty in store for January and February.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Executive Director Caelin McDaniel says, &#8220;We&#8217;re really leaning into accessibility and welcoming new folks into the studio.&#8221; To that end, there are a whole host of beginner ceramics classes this month. Offerings for newbies include a single session called &#8220;Try It! Beginner Wheel Throwing,&#8221; and &#8220;4 Week Intro to Handbuilt Ceramics.&#8221; These are in addition to their more advanced classes and recurring &#8220;Pottery Date Night&#8221; and &#8220;Sip &amp; Spin BYOB&#8221; events.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">In February, Clayspace is offering a Galentine&#8217;s Day event, inviting you to gather your best gals (or treat yourself!) for a one-of-a-kind Mug-Making Class. Whether you&#8217;re crafting a mug for your waffle syrup or your fourth cup of coffee, it&#8217;s the perfect way to celebrate your inner beautiful tropical fish (Parks and Rec fans know). Channel Leslie Knope and make a custom mug (friendship forever, clay edition).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Or think two people, one wheel, a little creative chaos, and lots of muddy fun. Bring your significant other, your mother-in-law (bold choice), your situationship, or that mysterious and attractive stranger you met last week. Expect muddy hands, questionable coordination, and lots of laughing. Admit it, you&#8217;re thinking of the movie Ghost now. Erie ClaySpace is ready to accommodate and says, &#8220;For this event only, we encourage all the Ghost\/Patrick Swayze\/Demi Moore references you&#8217;ve got \u2013 we&#8217;ll even snap a pic for Instagram if you so desire.&#8221; In case you need any extra incentive, the studio is also offering a limited time promotion: 10 percent off any multi-week classes in January or February.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Classes from Jan. 16 through Feb. 15 \/\/ Various times and prices \/\/ For tickets and info visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.erieclayspace.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">erieclayspace.com<\/a> \/\/ General questions can be answered at<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eriereader.com\/article\/mailto:info@erieclayspace.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> info@erieclayspace.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Caelin McDaniel Check out the upcoming slate of classes offered by Erie ClaySpace, located within the PACA building.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":88502,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[12590,43961,43959,136,138,137,43958,18231,43960],"class_list":{"0":"post-88501","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-erie","8":"tag-ceramics","9":"tag-ceramics-studio","10":"tag-clayspace","11":"tag-erie","12":"tag-erie-headlines","13":"tag-erie-news","14":"tag-erie-clayspace","15":"tag-paca","16":"tag-tandem-throw"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88501"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88501\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/88502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=88501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=88501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
