<h3>About the Class</h3>
<p><strong>Prerequisites to enroll in Soda Firing Club</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Must have taken at least one, Intro to Mid-Range Soda Firing Workshop</li>



<li>Be well versed in protocols for loading the soda kiln, kiln safety,

</ol>
<p>The
 “Julia” Soda Firing Club is designed for folks looking for longterm use
 with our Soda Kiln, Julia. The club is led by Studio Monitors, and a 
Studio Technician but involves no formal instruction in soda firing 
processes. Without a formalized instructor, our Soda Club offers a more 
financially accessible way of having work soda-fired, without the need 
to retake our Intro to Soda Firing workshop courses. The Soda Club will 
run firings monthly or as often as desired and needed depending on 
participant interest. Unlike our Soda Firing Workshops, club firings 
will include no instruction on wadding, slips, glazes, or any lectures 
on the subject of soda firing. As such, participants must feel 
comfortable with the safety and care of the equipment, as well as 
loading, firing, and maintenance procedures surrounding the firing 
process.<br><br>Each participant gets 1 cubic foot of firing space.<br><br><strong>Tip: Make sure all your pots fit approximately into a milk crate which is 1 cubic foot of space.<br></strong>This firing will be chosen by the group to be either oxidation or reduction, and fired to cone 6 with sprayed soda at the end.</p>

<hr>
<h3>About the Class</h3>
<p>Spend
 a day immersed in the art of drawing trees, set against the inspiring 
landscape of Jack London State Historic Park. This plein air workshop 
blends skill-building with outdoor observation, helping you deepen both 
your technique and your connection to the natural world.<br><br>In the 
morning, we’ll focus on foundational drawing principles—learning how to 
capture accurate proportions, simplify complex forms, and develop a 
strong sense of value. Through demonstrations and personal instruction, 
you’ll build the tools needed to confidently approach any tree.<br><br>In
 the afternoon, we’ll shift our attention to the expressive qualities of
 trees, exploring texture, color, and light as observed directly from 
the landscape. You’ll have the opportunity to enhance your drawings with
 watercolor washes, adding depth, atmosphere, and color to bring your 
trees to life. Step-by-step guidance ensures your finished piece 
reflects both structure and character.<br><br>Enjoy a relaxed, creative 
day surrounded by nature. Bring a picnic lunch for a mid-day break, and a
 lightweight folding chair if you have one (seating is also available at
 picnic tables, benches, or on the ground). All materials are provided. <br><br>Artists of all experience levels are welcome!<br><br>After
 the workshop, you’re invited to continue exploring the park—take a 
hike, visit the museum, or stroll to the evocative ruins of the Wolf 
House.</p>
<h5>Important Note</h5>
<p><strong>There is a Vehicle Entry Fee of $10.</strong>
 After the kiosk, veer to the right and proceed to the parking lot. All

<h3>About the Class</h3>
<p>Have
 you always wanted to paint landscapes but don’t know where to start? Or
 are you curious about acrylics but haven’t taken the plunge yet? In 
this class, you’ll learn a simple technique to create small, abstract 
landscapes on 5” square wooden tiles using a limited palette of colors.<br><br>You’ll
 be guided through the basics of acrylic paints and mediums, including 
surface preparation, color blending with a flat bristle brush, and using
 different tools to add texture and detail. By the end of the class, 
you’ll apply a final coat of medium to seal and protect your artwork, 
leaving you with 2-3 completed pieces to take home, along with a little 
easel to display your favorite one.<br><br>This class is perfect for 
beginners, though some prior painting experience is helpful. The process
 you’ll learn can easily be applied to larger paintings or even collage 
projects.<br><br>All materials are provided. Feel free to bring snacks or a bag lunch to eat while you work.</p>

Along the way, we’ve learned what truly lasts, what causes problems, and what homeowners need to feel confident in their homes.<br /><br />We built GoFlow on a simple belief: people deserve clarity, honesty, and real protection. We both grew up around plumbing, learned the trade hands-on, and saw too many companies put sales ahead of solutions.<br /><br />So we chose to build something better.
