Art Farm Class schedule, Summer 2018

Art Farm is back from long long break we took while constructing new art studio!  We are happy to announce that classes will be in our new building dedicated just for art.  It’s not just for adults.  We have classes for boys and girls who are out of school to enjoy, too!  Please check them out!  Do you have something else you would like to make?  
Our “One day handbuilding class” is open for you!
No experience necessary.
To get the idea of what people made in past classes, please visit album "Art Farm" on my facebook page "Momoko Usami Ceramics"!



 One day group handbuilding classes 

You can make a unique handmade gift for somebody special that you would never be able to buy in the store. You can use your very own tableware for a get together. You can decorate your house with an art piece you made. It’s not only what you make that is special, but the experience itself will be priceless! A great activity for family and friends. There is no theme, just bring your ideas!
