We’re throwing down (literally) at Pikes Peak Artist Collective for our First Friday Community Pottery Tournament this Friday, April 4th, and we want you in on the action!
This isn’t your typical studio night—it’s a fast-paced, fun, and slightly competitive event packed with wheel-throwing and handbuilding challenges that will push your creativity (and maybe your nerves) to the limit. And yes, there are prizes—think pottery supplies and free classes to fuel your artistic fire.
🏆 The Challenges:
We’ve got a mix of skill, creativity, and chaos lined up for you, including:
✅ Pinch Pot Perfection – Who can hand-build the most symmetrical pinch pot?
✅ Animal Instincts – Sculpt an expressive animal by hand
✅ Blindfolded Throwing – Test your muscle memory and instincts
✅ Off-Handed Challenge – Righties throw left-handed and vice versa
✅ Tallest Cylinder Showdown – Who can throw the tallest form?
