FORGET HARRY POTTER AND JOIN THESE POTTERS.

This Saturday, November 1 from 11am-3pm, join Houston Center for Contemporary Craft for "Hands-On Houston", a free craft-activity open house for the whole family on the first Saturday of every month. This month, in honor of their upcoming 3rd Annual "Texas Teapot Tournament", members of the Clay Arts Museum and Educational Organization (CAMEO) will lead children and adults in creating mini clay teapots using basic hand-building methods with air-dry clay. CAMEO will also demonstrate finishing techniques, such as stains, sgraffito, and incising. This activity is suitable for all ages and all materials will be provided.

Before or after the activity, get inspired by the beautiful ceramics and functional pottery in HCCC’s current exhibitions, "Warren MacKenzie: Legacy of an American Potter" and "Inspired: Students of Warren MacKenzie"Houston Center for Contemporary Craft is located at 4848 Main Street in the Museum District.

For more information, call 713.529.4848 or log onto www.crafthouston.org. For more information on CAMEO and their Texas Teapot Tournament, log onto www.cameohouston.org.
