Not often do you get a chance to pinch a pot or see all the cool skills that go into making wonderful items out of clay. Whether handbuilding or throwing on a wheel, you will see our members showing off their stuff all the while you meet our community of craftspeople and artisans that make up Factory Works. Come join us for a lovely late afternoon/evening in the beautiful Clerestory Ballroom in the Pajama Factory. Hope to see you there.

We would love to see you at our Fundraiser. It is shaping up to be quite an exciting evening. And the raffle and silent auction items are one of a kind made by our craftspeople in the Williamsport Community Woodshop, Factory Works Clay Studio, and the Factory Works Photo Lab.

So much cuteness coming out of the Clay Studio this week.

Our Miniature Animals beginner’s class has been busy underglazing tiny pigs, cats, dogs, rabbits, squirrels, birds, and more. These in-process pieces are already full of personality, and we cannot wait to see them finished.
