The Archie Bray Foundation is hosting a couples' wheel-throwing night for anyone looking to try their hand at ceramics — no prior experience or romantic partner required. The event is billed as a crash course on the potter's wheel, open to first-timers as well as people who want a hands-on creative outing.

The Bray, located on the north side of Helena near the old brick yard off North Montana Avenue, has long been one of the city's most distinctive arts institutions, drawing ceramic artists from around the world to its residency program. The public-facing classes and events like this one give Helena residents a chance to work on the same grounds. Tickets and registration details are available through the Bray's website.
