Fun Date Nights in Tulsa at Brookside Pottery Downtown

Image
Hello Friends! Yes! I get asked quite often if I am still holding date nights in my shop in the Atlas Life Building Downtown. Yes I am and we have a lot of fun. The info is still the same as I posted a couple years ago. If you want to reach me fast and easy find Brookside Pottery/Linda Coward on Facebook. As soon as I see your message, I'll respond.  Dates are day or night and by appointment. I can schedule in advance or fairly spontaneously. Your date can be anyone. A typical date, a ninth or tenth anniversary. Any kind of friend and any age.  The shop can hold up to 4-6 people at a time but it usually a 2 person event and that way you get a lot of one on one attention. It is a great way to see if you really like to work and clay. You can also reach me by email at Claylady00@aol.com. I'll be happy to share this experience with you!  I'm located at 415 South Boston, Suite 105 right inside the door of the Atlas Life/Marriott Hotel building. Want a fun date that creates fin...

Date nights, get togethers and fun experiences in pottery at Brookside Pottery Downtown Yes its fun. Life is all about experiences and I can make a clay date happen for lovers, friends and or family. Yes, I still do this and enjoy it immensely. This makes a great gift any time of the year.  You can bring your own alcohol to share while you work and I'll show you how to either throw on the potters wheel. yes just like on Ghosts, kinda, lol or we can hand build a vase, bowl or clay mask. The experience takes about an hour and a half and there are severely restaurants nearby if you want to  go out for a special meal afterwards. We set this up by appointment and as long as I'm available, I can make it happen at a mutually agreed time.  I am spontaneous so if this is a last minute plan lots of times it still works out. Basically it is $50 per person to come make your creations and that includes materials and tools to use.  You have to leave the pieces with me to dry and b...

All you need is to bring each other and something to drink if you like. I provide the fun and instruction.     First we pick a project and i show you how to make it. We play in the clay.  Then I'll take your picture, you and your pots, send it to you and you have to leave the pots at my shop to dry and be fired because it is the real thing.  We work from bags of clay, not pre made molded ceramics.   We can either do a hand made project or throw on the potters wheel, a unique experience and yes i will play the theme song from Ghosts by special request.   Next you decide if you want to choose a color and I glaze for you or if you want to come bac...

Just Another Birthday...When I'm 64...

Just another birthday...again. It's early in the morning and I wake up,wondering in that semi-conscious state, am I sure I'm going to be be 64?   A lot of my friends are in their 50's. Maybe I'm turning 55. How can this be?   Don't panic. We've got this.   I'm going to be 64. The Beatles warned me when I was a teenager. It's ok. Really it's ok. Remember your fav mentor, Beatrice Wood lived to be 105 and didn't loose her libido till she turned 102. And what about your wise Native American friend, Peggy. She is 88 now and is heading for her fathers age when he died at 105. 105. Maybe 105 is the new 70. Maybe. Yes it will be 64. I'd planned on making a big event out of it. Carpe diem. Carpet diem!   Well, I got to tired and had to scale back. I attended an incredibly wonderful painting workshop where the teacher worked us to death. 5 days of super focus, not allowing us to talk to others except at lunch so we could really focus. Everyday, at the...

Brookside Pottery Downtown, Tulsa Oklahoma...Gallery, Studio, Classes, Clay, Glazes, and Tools

Image
Change and then after change, more change happens and its ok. My old block on Peoria after 22 years of business and wondering when it would happen finally got bulldozed. Gone. Flat. It is a scraped clean lot now and waiting like a phoenix rising from the ashes and will become a Trader Joe's and a shopping center. Could be worse.  The property got very valuable. I have survived. I moved 22 years of collected project idea supplies to my home as well as my clay supply and kilns.  I have a beautiful gallery/studio to work in downtown in the Atlas Life/Marriott hotel in the Deco district of Tulsa. If you are looking for clay, glazes, tools, pottery or classes, I'm the place for you.  I continue to sell many kinds of clay and several cone 5/6 and low fire glazes as well, kemper tools, amaco, spectrum and lagoona glazes.   I have classes for beginners and advanced in hand building (see earlier post for details) and host date nights and small get togethers.  I work in m...
