hello there! Does anyone have any info about classes or workshops in the
Cleveland (OH) area, esp. in early July? I have the schedules for CIA and the
Valley Art Center, but otherwise I don't know of any other options and I
desperately need some because I have a lot of conflicts with the classes
offered in both places and I'm very sad about it. thank you for any help at
all!

Hi Catie,
I, too, live in the Cleveland area, and have taken some classes at TRI-C.
They do Raku firing there, I did some at Metro campus and also at the
Western campus. I had a really super experience at Metro, a great
teacher, really knows his stuff, I don't know if he is still there his
name is Paul Miklowski. He does a great Raku, we always had alot of fun.
Also at Western campus, the stlye was a little different, and didn't get
as many peices fired as I would have liked, but if nothing else is
available it works. Check out the TRI-C website, sorry I don't have the
address on hand, they have the summer schedule online. I myself signed up
for a Watercolor class, and will be taking some computer graphics in the
fall. I don't take pottery there anymore now that I have a studio in my
basement, tho I would like to go back for Raku, since I don't have that
facility at home. At Metro we made our own Raku glazes, etc... I have a
few recipes for some dynamite Raku glazes if you need them--also with the
Raku firing we always had a little "party" everyone brought food and
drinks and we would partake during the firing, also everyone was involved
in every aspect of the firing---can really be a good experience--by the by
registration has started for summer, so if you wanted to take a class I
would start soon, if not wait for fall, they also offer 3 sections of
ceramics in the Fall. We pretty Raku'd all year, outside of really
horrendous weather. Have a great time this summer!!!!
Kathy
