Craft Center Next Week: Glass Platters, Raku, Forged Hooks, and a Bowl on the Lathe

The Brookfield Craft Center's studios are full next week, with dated workshops in glass, clay, forge, woodturning, jewelry, and fiber from November 9 through 15.

The week opens Monday and Tuesday, November 9–10, with a Holiday Serving Platter workshop in glass, running 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days for $275. Tuesday, November 10, also brings Raku in the clay studio, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for $90.

Friday, November 13, the forge hosts "A Place to Hang Your Hat: Hand-Forged Hooks," 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for $190. Saturday, November 14, is the busiest day: "Turn A Bowl" in woodturning, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for $129, with one spot left; a Copper Coffee Spoon in jewelry, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for $135; and the Felt Hat Workshop's second session, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for $90.

Three Saturday offerings are already on waitlists: the Forge Your Own Hammer weekend workshop, Lampwork Hollow-Form Ornaments in glass, and Saturday Clay Night, 5 to 7 p.m. for $95. The hammer workshop runs November 14–15 for $350. A waitlist spot is still worth taking — openings come up when a registered student cancels, and the center's schedule shows the waitlist status for each class.

The Felt Hat Workshop is a two-Saturday series: the first session ran November 7, and the second session meets November 14, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for $90. The glass platter workshop is likewise a two-day commitment, Monday and Tuesday, so plan for both days if you sign up.

The Craft Center sits at 286 Whisconier Road, and class listings with prices and availability are posted through the center's class schedule.
