Clay Club offers an affordable and accessible space for individuals to learn fundamental ceramic hand-building techniques. All proceeds benefit Good Neighbour's free clothing store, which provides clothing, food, and other essential items to those in need. HOW IT ALL WORKS You will receive hands-on assistance from our facilitator as needed. However, we do not offer structured lessons or specific project teachings. Previous experience with clay may come in handy. If you are looking for more structured and in-depth learning, please check out our 4-week beginner hand-building course! Clay Club is designed for you to bring your own creative ideas and is focused on independent practice. Once you have finished making your pieces, they will be stored on our shelves until you are ready to return and paint them. For optimal results, we recommend applying underglaze when the clay is bone dry, it takes about a week for clay to completely dry. While you can paint your pieces when they are still wet, the colors may not be as vibrant or opaque. Please note that all pieces must be painted/fully finished before we proceed with firing. Alternatively, you may choose to have your pieces fired as-is, without painting. If you decide to wait for your pieces to dry first and paint on a later date, you will have to pre-register by purchasing our $20 ticket option. We have all the tools and supplies needed to create, however, you’re welcome to bring your own tools. We ask that you complete your projects within 2 months of your initial start date as we have limited shelving space. We understand life can get busy, so please let us know if you're unable to return right away so we can accommodate you. FIRING We fire all completed work once a month to keep costs low. All pieces will be fired at the end of each month. Example: If you finish your pieces in November, they will be fired after the last Clay Club session of the month. Firing and glazing ceramics is a time-consuming process, so it may take up to four weeks to complete all firings after the monthly cut-off date. We will notify you via email once your pieces are fired and ready for pick-up. As a private studio, we are only open to the public during scheduled class and event times. Our email will include specific days and times available for picking up your work. TICKET INFO Red Ticket: You will receive up to 2 lbs of clay per session; more clay is available for $3 per pound if needed. Unused clay amounts are not transferable to future sessions. You will also have access to our coloured underglazes. Purple Ticket: Bring your own clay! Acceptable brands are Plainsman, PSH, or Tuckers and must be cone 6. Blue Ticket: No clay is provided.

Alberta Craft Council and the Nickle Galleries present a curated tour of: Earth and Sky: Carpet Cultures of AsiaPart One: Earth and Sky: Carpet Cultures of Asia examines hand-woven textiles—particularly carpets—from across Asia, foregrounding the perspectives of weavers, their families and communities. It explores how ‘carpet cultures’ are shaped by shared experiences of weaving, carpet use, trade, and creative imagining. Carpets are revered across Asia but particularly in Iran and the Iranian diaspora. Immigrants frequently mention how carpets evoke some of their earliest memories of home—tactile, acoustic, and emotive memories. Earth and Sky seeks to tease out these subtle, evocative connections, deepening understanding of carpets, their makers, and the cultures that foster them. Earth and Sky assembles some of the largest and oldest carpets in Nickle Galleries’ collection—many having never been exhibited. Among these are a series of rare 17th and 18th C carpets from the Caucasus and Northwest Persia, several vagireh (rug samplers), a recently conserved two-sided Kurdish carpet from Eastern Anatolia, as well as two reed screens—one from either end of Asia. The exhibition explores carpets and performance, making and knowing, and carpets in everyday life. Curated by Michele Hardy from the collections of Nickle Galleries. Part II (behind the scenes): Woven Bags and Boxes from Nickle Galleries Collections Nickle Galleries curator Michele Hardy will lead this intimate, behind-the-scenes tour of the textile vault, sharing evocative textiles from the collection. Weavers across Asia produced large and small carpets for tents, cottages, and occasionally, palaces. They also made smaller items: saddle cloths, tent bands and various bags for their own purposes. In this short introduction to the Nickle’s Carpet and Textile Collection, we will examine some spectacular small pile-woven textiles, consider how they were made and what they were used for. Michele Hardy is a curator, anthropologist and textile specialist who has worked with the collection for almost two decades. She is the grateful recipient of the Alberta Craft Council’s Tom McFall Honour Award for 2023. Image Yomud Turkmen bag (torba), 19th century.

Please note food and drink are not allowed on either tour and you will be asked to check bags and wash hands before entering the vault.
