Ceramic Tabletop Fountains (This class is only offered once a year!)
Adult Multi-Week | FULL
Learn the basics of fountain building. We will build the components for a simple slab-built tabletop fountain and learn how to plumb it.
- This class was originally scheduled on Wednesday afternoon's as shown in the print catalog, but was moved to Thursday mornings.
Al's classes are formatted so that the first 15-20 minutes is a critique of work in progress, the next hour is a demonstration, and the rest of class time is for individual work time. Practice is expected outside of class, but not required. The materials fee includes the components to make one fountain.

Al Pellenberg
Al has been been playing and working with mud since he was a kid, his “Play-Doh Fun Factory” was just the best toy Al ever had. Al believes he became an architect and space designer as a result of all those things that he built in my “first childhood." Over the years he have been in and out of the clay studio. He worked on the wheel for many years making bowls, cups, teapots and the lot, but the move to hand-building has been very rewarding and offering a set of challanges that combine both his architectual training and creative side in new and different ways
