Talk of the Town: Test knack for creativity at pottery studio


Share this: Email | Facebook | X

How are you creative?

Has it been sitting on your shelf?

Do you need to relax and unwind?

Or do you save it for someone else?

I am looking for just the right word.

It’s my main artery.

Walk right in the Carson Mall.

It’s “Ogres-Holm Pottery”

Jo and Merrill co-own the show

With their son Lucas by their side.

If you have a creative bone

Please come, step inside.

You never know until you try it.

They have classes and workshops galore.

On Tuesday evenings from 6 to 8:30

It’s an “open studio door”

They are really involved with the community.

With classes for Girl Scouts and special needs.

They make empty bowls for the hungry,

You can throw one.

I think you will be pleased.

Sometimes you must think out of the box

There are many classes:

Throwing on a wheel.,

Hand building, soft or hard slab,

Or pinch pots.

You will get the feel.

This is something I want to do.

I know it should be fun.

Come and throw some clay with me.

We’ll have a one on one.
