Organizer
Ceramicist and kiln technician
Demonstration only. In a deployment with accounts, following a member would surface their new threads and the gatherings they host. This blueprint has no accounts and stores nothing, so nothing is followed.
Maren has been throwing pots for eleven years and repairing kilns for six, which is a useful combination when your community owns exactly one secondhand kiln and no budget.
She runs the Kiln Club’s beginner intake three times a year and is responsible for the rule that nobody apologizes for their work. She would like it on record that the tile wall was somebody else’s idea and that she was initially against it.

Communities
Making & Craft
A ceramics group built around one communal kiln in Portwell and a stubborn belief that the second attempt is the interesting one.
Learning Together
One skill, one evening, taught by a member who learned it recently enough to remember which part was confusing.
Design & Type
A design critique group focused on typography and layout, where the work on the table is always unfinished on purpose.

Mix, dip, and label test tiles for the next firing. Every result goes on the wall with its recipe.

A full-day firing and unload. Two cracked rims, one exceptional accident on a copper glaze.

The ask board for autumn is open. Post what you want to learn, and whether you would be willing to teach something you learned recently.
