Community Events in the studio of Antoinette

​I have an open studio once a month. This is an opportunity for people in the community to learn and grow through small clay projects.
I am available to assist with family and small group reunions, small church group fellowships like Woman in Church, small team building groups from businesses and, any other special projects groups, like birthday parties, couples or child/parent groups.  Gather in Antoinette's studio for fun projects with clay.
​See the proposed schedule below. If you have any other ideas, you are welcome to discuss it with me. 
  • ​Schedule a project ahead of time with me.
  • A 50 % deposit is needed at scheduling.
  • Pricing differ according to project chosen.
  • Most projects are single events of 3 hours long.
  • There are some that may require more time. It can happen all in one appointment or can be scheduled over 2 days.  Please see the proposed schedule.  
  • Antoinette leads all clay projects. Work will be fired in the pottery kiln and will be available to pick up in about 2 weeks. 
**During these few hours each participant will have the opportunity to make bowl that will be donated to the Woman's Auxiliary, Salvation Army for their annual Empty Bowl event in Tupelo.**

Antoinette's different planned events

Event

Children at play
Description of event
Every child like to play with clay. If you have a special event like a child's birthday party coming up, we can do it in my studio. I can handle up to 10 children. They will make a project and you can pick it up once it is fired. 

Cultural exchange
Pottery is a world activity with 1000's of years of history behind it. In every culture it is done differently. In the pottery  studio the language becomes universal, while the exchange of culture becomes an unique experience. 

Empty Bowls
Empty Bowl making  is an event in which Antoinette involves the community  to benefit the Salvation Army Woman's' Auxiliary. The public get the opportunity to do team building, reunion or fellowship events in Antoinette's studio. See the scheduled events by clicking on the button. ​

Fellowships
Are you looking for an opportunity to reflect about life, ideas or concepts with a group of special people? The pottery studio is the perfect place to visit and have fun while you brainstorm, linger on and discuss ideas.  

open house
My open houses are opportunities to see what is new in my showroom, to catch up with friends and to sample food. 

Senior CITIZENS
Our senior citizens are not only smart with lots of experience and history under their belts, but they are curios about many things that we often take for granted. Short projects are the perfect thing to allow them to learn about things that they wanted to do years ago. 

Team building
There are so many opportunities to strengthen your work team in the pottery studio. Discuss your needs with us. We can offer anywhere from 3 hours to 2 day team building opportunities. Koos Badenhorst has 40 years of corporate experience. His analytical business experience in combination with the clay experience of Antoinette will make the experience unforgettable. See ideas here.
