  Introduction to Hand builiding: A Coiled Cookie Jar

  Coil pottery is often considered the most beginner-friendly method. You don’t need a wheel - just roll your clay into coils, layer them up, and shape them at your own pace.

  What You’ll Learn

  Prepare your Base: Roll out your slab base. Use a round object like a plate to cut around with a knife to make a perfect circle.

  Create Coils: Roll the clay on a lightly damped surface with both hands to create an even coil.

  Secure Coils: Learn how to secure your coils by using clay slip and scoring your piece.

  Shape Your Pieces: Learn how to build up layers of coils to form the desired shape.

  Glaze: Add finishing touch by glazing your final piece.

  Let’s Eat! Calling all chili enthusiasts!

  Join us on March 28th for our second annual Chili Cook-Off. This is an opportunity for our community to come together, share space, be warm, and celebrate a love of chili. It is also a chance to share The MINT with friends and family and help us raise funds in support of our programming.

  We will be hosting 10 - 15 local chili competitors. We've also got some local "celebrity" judges!

  Your job? Come hungry! We will be selling MINT-made ceramic bowls for you to fill three times then take home. 

  Eager to commit? Pre-purchase your bowl today for $30 each.

  We will have bowls for sale at the door along with composti-bowls for those with a tighter budget and less cabinet space!

  Event Date: Saturday, March 28th
