Workshops & events
Sell your pottery SAPG members! This is a vendor opportunity to sell your work at our monthly pop-up market at Curator Coffee Shop in the Thousand Oaks Shopping Center.
Space is limited to the first 8 vendors who sign up.
Bring one 6 foot long table, your a-level table top displays and a chair. No canopy needed. This venue has covered spaces with nice breezes. The customers are fun and are very interested in our ceramics. Remember to draw them in with interesting facts about how you make your art.
There is no vendor fee for this market. We ask our vendors to use their personal mailing lists and social media accounts to get the word out about the event. SAPG and Curator will share on their accounts so please do tag us/@mention us so we can cross post. The more we can all share the word about this market ahead of time the better the turnout for all.
Please email a couple pictures of your recent work to sanantoniopottersguild@gmail.com, use "curator pop up" in subject line, please include any information about your business and social media handles and website if you have one. We will be creating a flyer for the pop-up that will be available to you for marketing and we would love it if you'd share it. Any questions please reach out!
Set up begins at 9 am and plan to be ready to sell at 10 am. Someone will be there to direct you to your spot.
If you can't be a vendor consider supporting your fellow SAPG ceramicists by stopping by with a friend or family to browse and shop if you see something you love!
Our big sales event is coming up and it's all hands on deck! The public is invited to shop between 10:00-2:00. Soup and bread will be served by volunteers. Please invite your friends to attend. It is a free event and Soup comes with the purchase of a bowl.
We could use extra help from 8:00-10:00 to unpack bowls and set them up, and at clean up time from 2:00-4:00 to pack up any unsold bowls and tear down tables. Sign up to help in whatever way works best for you on the following link: https://www.givepulse.com/event/672321-25th-annual-empty-bowls

This tile making workshop is suitable for beginners and experienced potters. There is no fee for members. Guests should bring $5 cash or check, please.
In this workshop, you will learn:
several ways to cut and form a tile about clay types to choose from how to decorate, cut out and add to make images how to finish the back of the tile for display and hanging
You will use a tile that is already leather hard and you will use your own that you make on site. You will not need to bring tools, but if you have some you like to use, please bring them.
We will discuss several ways to glaze or paint your tile. You will take home your tiles to fire on your own. If you want your tile to be fired, that can be arranged for a very small cash fee.
