At the University of Nevada, Reno, the Ceramic Society opens its doors twice each semester, inviting students from all backgrounds to paint their own pottery. What starts as a fun, hands-on art project soon becomes much more, a fundraiser to help students attend the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA). This event takes them far beyond the classroom to explore the world of ceramics, creativity, and community.

🖌️🎨The club will open its lab for Christmas, Valentines, and Mother’s day this year, the club will continue to use sidewalk chalk and posters to advertise their events. 🖌️🎨

Be on the look out 👀 for the opportunity to sit and paint.
