Those Other Doors
A couple of those Other Doors rapidly approaching are the opening of the Community Scenes / Fall Into Winter Show, the Fall Class Schedule, and the new Kiln Services now available at the Guild House.
Fall Into Winter, with the Second Annual Community Scenes Award, opens Thursday evening, September 24th. Should be a lovely evening – Champ Saint-Amant will be there to fill the air with music! Mark your calendar to join us and help congratulate the winners – and see how you want to cast your votes for the new exhibits!
- Artists: Online Entries for Fall Into Winter are open NOW! Intake for the show will be Tuesday, September 15, between 11:00 am and 4:00 pm. Contact Carole if you need to schedule another time.
The Fall Class Schedule is firming up right now; here are some highlights:
- Nanette Zeller will be back in October with another Indigo Dye Class and a new felted wool class later in the year. With patterns small wallets and eyeglasses cases – personally, I’m thinking, “maybe a phone case???” – we’ll see!
- Jill Vickers will be back with several classes, too, including a very special one New one to make some wonderful Holiday Cards and another on Artist Trading Cards (ATC) and how trading sets works.
- Jim Tripp is planning more pottery classes after the success of the Playing in the Mud one just held. See the note below about the new Kiln Services available at the Guild House.
We have had requests for classes on architectural drawing, urban sketching, and on garden design. If you have any classes you would like to see offered, please let us know when you come to the Guild House, add a comment to this post, or send an email to info@robesonartguild.org.
Kiln Services are now available at the Guild House! If you are a potter who needs a place to glaze and fire your creations, we can help! We’ll be happy to schedule what you need. Please fill out the Kiln Services inquiry form (link below) and we’ll get back to you. We maintain 2 kilns in the kiln room located behind the Guild House in Lumberton, both available for rental on a per piece basis, by appointment only. Pieces to be fired can be dropped off and fired once they are completely dry and the kilns can be filled safely.
The cost per piece is by cubic inch, determined by the longest measurement, dimension, or diameter of the piece, and the firing type, plus any supplies. Clay work typically must be fired twice. All loading and unloading of the kilns will be done by our master potter or a qualified assistant. On request, the master potter may agree that the visiting potter can load/unload on a supervised basis only. To avoid misunderstandings, please read the information on the bottom of the inquiry form before calling or bringing in your pieces for firing. We will be happy to answer any questions.

We are looking forward to seeing you soon!
