Wheel Thrown Ceramics Fall 2026.  5:30 PM to 8:30 PM.  The Wheel Thrown Ceramics Workshop is a multiple-week class that allows potters of any level to come in and make art! No experience is necessary as in-depth demonstrations on wheel-thrown pottery will be given during classes. Class time will also be used to independently work on technique and learn methods of making utility pottery with ornate additions to them while in an environment where questions are always welcome and assistance is a few steps away.  Level of Experience: Beginner to Advanced.  Please wear appropriate clothing for working with art materials and an apron if you have one.  Cost: $165. Register here.  STEAM Factory, Jackson College Central Campus.

2nd Annual Scarecrow Contest. Pick up a sign-up sheet and straw bale at the Springport Branch, Jackson District Library. The scarecrows will be set at the bases of the lampposts down Main Street. Please have them decorated, set near a lamppost for display, and registered with the branch by October 15 so we know who to thank. Judging will take place on Jackson District Library’s Facebook page.
