Meeting Room

Let's get creative and explore pottery techniques without a wheel. Meet Chris Gallup of Big G Pottery to enjoy this hands-on experience for adults & teens. Don't get mad, get dirty. Throw pots!

Hand building pottery predates the pottery wheel and allows for a more personal, organic approach to creating ceramics, using techniques like pinching, coiling, and slab building. Let's get down to earth with Chris Gallup of Big G Pottery and experience the joy of creating with our hands! For teens and adults ages 13 and up.

All supplies provided just bring the magic of your imagination and creativity! Please wear appropriate clothing for creating art. 

If you have any questions please contact Alachua Branch at (386) 462-2592.
