PLEASE READ ME! <3
Come enjoy a class of mindful creation on the beach!
Enjoy a relaxing, creative session where you'll learn how to sculpt whale sharks from a ball of stoneware clay while listening to the calming sounds of the ocean. We'll search for shells together to create texture, incorporate saltwater into the clay, and make some new friends under the sun.
Led by staff member Gabby from The Cozy Bookwyrm, you'll receive patient, step-by-step instructions on how to make your own little aquatic buddy using various hand-building techniques. No clay experience necessary! (And if you wish to sculpt something different than the theme, you are welcome to! The sharks will be about hand-sized.)
Important Information
- Included: instruction, clay, tools, kiln firings
- Instructors: Gabby with The Cozy Bookwyrm
- Who: Anyone aged 6 and older
- When: Tuesday, 7/28 (6pm-8pm)
- Where: Johnnie Mercers Pier - 23 E Salisbury St, Wrightsville Beach, NC 28480 **IN THE EVENT OF INCLEMENT WEATHER: if the weather is poor day-of, the class will be moved to DesignWorx at 707 S 16th St, Wilmington, NC 28401. Participants will receive an email if the location needs to change.**
- Cost: $60 per person (participants can opt to paint their own for an additional fee after the first firing)
More Important Information:
- CLASS TYPE: This is a sculpting class, NOT a wheel class. You will be working by hand, not on the pottery wheel.
- GLAZING: Your practice piece(s) will be glazed with ONE glaze that is intuitively selected by the staff of the studio. It’ll be a fun surprise! If you would like to paint your own, please email us at [email protected] with a picture of your shark to arrange a separate painting session at Cozy. An additional painting session is $20.
- CARE: Ceramics should not be exposed to extreme temperature changes. Hand-wash or allow to cool to room temperature from the top rack of your dishwasher help prevent shattering. Avoid using boiling water. With care, your future little pots can bring you joy for a long while.
- TURNAROUND TIME: Pottery is a process and takes time to fire and make it through our process. Your creations will be ready for pickup from the Cargo District studio approximately 4-6 weeks from the workshop date. You should receive a pickup email when they're finished, but if it is eaten by filters, please come by the studio after 4 weeks to check on your pots or send us an email. Any pottery left at the studio 3 months after the workshop date will be donated, so please pick up your work in time!
- YOU MUST SIGN YOUR POTTERY. Bookworm Pottery & Co. is not liable for lost pieces that are unsigned and mistakenly claimed by another student.
- DISCLAIMER: Not all practice pieces are guaranteed to make it out of the kiln if instructions are not followed. Inconsistencies in thickness can cause cracks or even shattering in the firing process. However, the goal of this workshop is to learn and have fun, not the finished practice piece, so don’t stress about it! Additionally, the "inspo" photos on this listing are of creation examples for educational purposes only--they are not always pieces made by our studio, and we claim no rights to these photos unless they are ours.
- REFUND POLICY: All sales are final. Tickets cannot be refunded, prorated or exchanged for another workshop due to the special nature of our offerings and very limited enrollment. If something comes up that impacts your attendance, you are welcome to resell or gift your tickets. In the event of an extreme emergency, such as the death of a close family member, please email us at [email protected] to discuss options.
- LIABILITY INFORMATION: By participating in pottery classes with Bookworm Pottery & Co. or The Cozy Bookwyrm, I understand and accept that not all pots are guaranteed to make it out of the kiln if instructions are not followed. Improper use of ceramics can lead to damage, or in extreme cases, injury. I release Bookworm Pottery & Co. and The Cozy Bookwyrm from any liability related to pottery painted during class.

No problems all the way to the end of the spool
Style: String Trimmer
I had an old Greenworks string trimmer that I found in the basement after I moved into my new home. Maybe it was just old, but the auto-feed didn't work well, the line was always running out, and I spent more time rewinding the spool than cutting down weeds. I had almost lost my faith in string trimmers entirely. You can spend $300 on one, but how much better are they? I didn't know. This Black & Decker was only $50, and although it's corded, my roommate convinced me it was worth not having to do the dance of recharging batteries, plus having full 110v power. Some (easy) assembly required out of the box, and this thing was basically plug & play. I did read through the owner's manual first, which gave amateur me some confidence through a few helpful tips. I use it not only for cutting down weeds, but also for cleaning out weeds from the cracks in my sidewalk, and the edger wheel is very helpful for that. More importantly, the line had no problems all the way to the end of the spool. Faith restored, there are good string trimmers in the world.
That being said, be aware that the line it comes with isn't very long. My lawn is medium-size, and it ran out about halfway through. The Black & Decker replacement spools are $10 / 30 ft (much longer), but it goes through line, so this could really add up. Replacing the spool was easy, and I was able to finish my lawn with plenty line to spare. A quick search on Amazon reveals off brand spools at $15 / 12-pack. I haven't tested them yet, but the price difference is so great that I'm going to give them a chance.

Handy until I can purchase a mower
Style: String Trimmer, Style: String Trimmer
I've used this thing heavily 3 times now. I need a mower but haven't had the spare money for one yet so this is what I'm using! My yard is just under 1 acre. I'ma list some pros and cons I've noticed in my good use..
Pros: it works.. really well! As you can see I live in Florida so grass grows super fast in our rainy season if I slack just 2 weeks oh my.. the power is strong, it's easy to work. Auto feed is a big help. I bought extra when I made this purchase I can go through about 1-2 rolls throughout the whole yard.
Cons: the wire. It gets in the way so much and my large yard I use a 200 ft cord but that's not always enough so I can't complete my job completely but enough I'm happy with. When the auto feed is low i noticed it constantly over feeds the line and that honestly hurts sometimes! It's and easy fix but after doing it 5 times you're over it. Id just put a new one on but I feel that's just a waste.
In the future I will be replacing mine to get rid of the wire.

Light Weight = Maneuverable
Style: String Trimmer
First time use today. It's works great. The light weight makes it so much more maneuverable than my very heavy 15 year old Echo weed line trimmer with heavy 58V battery. The Echo 58V battery died and did not want to spend $220 for new Echo battery with probably old tech battery. Debated on $300 EGO 56V trimmer and this corded 120VAC Black and Decker weed line trimer for $52. Also purchase a 50 ft AWG14 extension cord. The combination is terrific. Again the light weight is a revelation for me. The 6.5 Amp motor is plenty powerful. The thinner .065 line works well cut everything that needed wacking. The auto line feed works well. The length of tool fits me perfectly - I'm 5-4 so it may not be so good for tall folks. I extended to its max length. I wrapped the extension cord a few loops around the trigger handle and had no issues with cord staying on. Highly recommended with one could deal with extension cord. I don't see an issue with reliability and longevity. The electric motor seem well spec and strong. Really not much to go wrong with it. And no battery to deal with. For my very small yard it works great.

Great Light Weight String Trimmer and Edger!
Style: String Trimmer
I'm a 60 year old female and bought this because of the light weight. It was easy to put together, however, the instructions that came with it were terrible. It included only black and white images, with no written instruction. I found a great tutorial on YouTube that told how to assemble it and use it, and another on how to change the string. Buy extra string, so you'll have it ready! It does a great job on weeds and ivy. The edger is great. It is adjustable, but probably not the best for anyone taller than 5'6. It's noisy, but not so bad that it requires ear protection. I like that it's corded which makes it lighter and I don't have to fool with gas or heavy batteries.
