shamrock mugs

Get your St. Patrick’s Day off to a creative start at Pearl City Clay House with Darcie! Come and make something special—a unique Shamrock mug, handmade from slabs of clay. Embrace that Irish luck this month in our fun class – unleash the crafter within you for an extra-special holiday experience!

Working with clay can be messy – we strongly recommend you bring an apron and a non-terry cloth towel to wipe your hands with.

Blackout meditation

Pearl City Clay House is excited to announce a series of FREE community workshops at the Prendergast Library,  funded by the Murray L. Bob Educational Initiative.

The third of these workshops, blackout meditations, will take place on September 13th

Looking for an affordable new way to unwind?

Join me, Deb Eck, program director and resident teaching artist, as I gently guide you through the relaxing art of blackout meditation. What is that? It’s an art form I invented many decades ago, a mash up of blackout poetry, doodling and occasionally some drawing & coloring.

This session will cover the how-to-get-started basics, along with a few different techniques you can use to take your blackouts to the next level. Absolutely NO prior art experience needed!

While the events are free, space is limited, and you must register by calling 716-484-7135, ext. 226 or by emailing programs@prendergastlibrary.org. Registration for this event is not yet open.

Blackout meditation get together

If you’ve taken a blackout meditation class with us in this past year join us for a zoom get together. Bring your supplies and any work you’d like to share with the group. We will talk techniques, and share what we are discovering, and then work together. All attendees will get an emailed seasonal stencil to print and cut out along with the zoom link. Join us to get your zen on before summer is gone!

Sign up for your space HERE.

Never taken a class, but curious? Join us at 6:30 for a quick introduction the process with Deb Eck, inventor/instructor, then stay for the great company and enjoy working along with the group. A supply list will be emailed to you, but all you really need is an old book, a pencil and a sharpie.

Sign up to join us HERE for the introduction and to stay for the group session after.
