PENCE GALLERY. Artist Ronald Peetz has been a stalwart part of the regional art scene since the late 1960s. As an object maker and sculptor, he delights in incorporating puns, word play, and irreverent humor into his work. Starting with his concept, he chooses any one of the many media he employs, to best make his idea come to life. In so doing, his sculpture and mixed media pieces lean heavily towards social critique and parody, blended with a lighter touch of humor and surrealism.

Want to take your throwing to the next level? Join us for a hands-on workshop designed to refine your wheel throwing technique. Under the guidance of a professional potter, students will throw pots, cut them in half, & analyze each to identify areas of improvement. The focus is on skill-building, so students will leave with enhanced technique rather than finished pieces. Register for all three days or register for individual days. Open to beginners & people with prior wheel throwing experience. Materials will be provided. Bring a non-refrigerated lunch and a water bottle for breaks. Workshop dates: Friday, March 28th Saturday, March 29 Sunday, March 30. 11a – 4a. $115.
