The first workshop, “Basic Kiln Maintenance,” will be offered from 6-8:30 p.m. on April 9 at the SCC Swain Center. Doug Hubbs, potter and Heritage Arts instructor, will lead this workshop focusing on basic tips to care for your electric kiln.

“Social Media for Artists” will be offered on May 5, from 6-8:30 p.m., in room 114 of the SCC Swain Center. Elise Delfield, potter and Heritage Arts instructor, is the owner/operator of her own studio-based business and gallery (Pincu Pottery) as well as a member of the Southern Highlands Craft Guild.

Both workshops are limited to 12 participants. To reserve a seat, contact Jeff Marley at 828.366.2005 or email j_marley@southwesterncc.edu.
