Come be part of the pottery community at GAC! Adult Pottery is a class where you can develop or refine your skills on the wheel or with hand-building techniques—whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced potter! This 10-week, multi-level class is open to adults and mature high school students, and offers a flexible learning experience tailored to a variety of skill levels.

Beginners will focus on essential techniques like centering clay on the wheel, throwing basic pots, handbuilding, and learning foundational glazing methods. For intermediate and advanced students, the class provides a great opportunity to deepen your expertise, refine your technique, and explore new creative possibilities. Plus, you'll have access to 6 hours per week of open studio time to practice and work on your projects outside of class.

This is a fantastic chance to build your skills at a great value, with individualized instruction and a collaborative, supportive environment. While materials and firing fees are not included, the knowledge and experience you'll gain over 10 weeks will be well worth the investment. Whether you're looking to start from scratch or take your pottery to the next level, this class offers something for everyone!

Join Us for a Centennial Community Mosaic Project for Cold Spring’s Butterfield Library!

In celebration of the Butterfield Library’s 100th anniversary, we’re inviting the community to come together and create something lasting and beautiful—a collaborative mosaic that reflects the spirit of Cold Spring.

This fall, Garrison Art Center will host a series of workshops open to teens, adults, and seniors of all skill levels. Whether you're a seasoned artist or a curious beginner, your ideas and creativity are welcome. We are thrilled to be working with artist and educator Ellen Dinerman, who will help guide this project.

Participants will be working collaboratively on a single mosaic piece that will be permanently installed at the library—not on individual works. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a shared piece of public art that will celebrate the community for generations to come.

Sessions will be offered on both Mondays and Wednesdays. You are welcome to sign up for either day or both—whatever works best for your schedule.

There is no session on October 1 + 13.
