This particular class is for military-connected women over 18 years or older. \nCreate a one-of-a-kind collection of handbuilt ceramic art pieces! Projects include sculptural and functional items–examples of items we’ll make include a mug with a handle\, a textured wall pocket hanging decoration\, origami-inspired trinket dishes\, and an owl-shaped votive luminary (see photos). These projects incorporate all the fundamental skills of handbuilding with clay: roll slabs\, securely join clay components\, add textures\, pinching\, coil building\, and painting colorful underglazes onto your own pieces!Works will be fired off-site after the class is finished and will be available for pickup from the Joel Fund offices after class is over. No experience is necessary; your instructor will meet you where you are and provide the support you need to enjoy the creative process–the studio is fully accessible\, participants will be able to stand or sit as desired\, and accommodations are always available for any specific needs. Working with this medium provides a unique opportunity for sensory engagement and creative development–come connect to yourself and other makers as you find your way with clay! \nPlease note\, this class is for Women Only. \nWe offer scholarships for those who cannot afford the registration fee.

SUMMARY:My Fair Lady
DESCRIPTION:My Fair Lady is a timeless musical that delves into the transformative power of language\, identity\, and social class in early 20th-century London. At the heart of the story is Eliza Doolittle\, a spirited flower seller with a thick Cockney accent\, who encounters the esteemed phonetics professor Henry Higgins. Fascinated by her unrefined speech and bold personality\, Higgins makes a bold wager: he will teach Eliza to speak and behave like a proper lady of high society. \nAs Eliza embarks on this challenging journey\, the musical traces their evolving relationship through lessons in speech\, manners\, and self-discovery. Though they come from vastly different worlds\, Higgins and Eliza form an unexpected bond that both challenges and changes them in profound ways.\n—\nBurning Coal Theatre Company is proud to announce its production of My Fair Lady\, directed by Jerome Davis.
