Hudson Community Services: Community Education, School Age Care, Summer Programs

In this three-session class, participants will be introduced to basic techniques of hand building, throwing on a potter’s wheel, and glazing. Using stoneware clay and earth tone glazes, participants will create pieces of art using an electric wheel, slab roller and extruder. The first two sessions are devoted to creating and the last session will focus on glazing. Both new and returning students are welcome. Participants are encouraged to dress in grubby clothes and bring an apron or towel. Class meets at Craig Seath's Studio (1023 7th St, Hudson WI). Please go to the building/studio behind the house. Please bring $35.00 for a material fee/person, which will be collected by the instructor at the beginning of class. The same instruction will be presented at each session; multiple sessions are offered for participant convenience.

Are you a master at putting puzzles together? Then this is the event for you! January is National Puzzle Month, so let’s celebrate with a friendly competition! Grab your friends or come with your family and join the fun! Teams of 4 people will race against each other to see who can finish the same 500-piece jigsaw puzzle first in a two-hour time frame. (That’s 500 pieces in 7,200 seconds, or one piece being placed every 14.4 seconds!) At the start of the timer, players will unwrap their puzzle and work together to complete the puzzle before the other teams. (If no teams complete their puzzle before the time ends, the winning team will be chosen by the fewest number of loose pieces left.) Prizes will be awarded. Snacks and refreshments will be provided. Tuition fee includes the puzzle your team gets to keep. Added bonus: Bring your old puzzles to exchange in a FREE puzzle swap! There are limited spots available, so please register early. Team Check in: 5:30 PM Puzzle Competition Begins: 6:00 PM Only one adult (aged 18+) needs to register for their team. It is not necessary to register all team members. When registering, you will be asked to indicate the names and ages of the other three team members.
