Alternative country favorite Wayne Hancock imbues his retro obsessions with such high energy and passion that his songs never feel like museum pieces he's trying desperately to preserve. Hancock is most often compared to, and he can indeed be a hardcore honky tonker, but there's more to him than that: he also displays a genuine affinity for stomping rockabilly, Western swing, blues, and old-timey country à la .

Mix up your day with clay! Complete beginners or advanced students new to VAI, this half session option is designed for you. Adults and teens 14 and older, come have fun with us while getting to know our studio and the ceramics process. This mixed level class is designed for both beginners seeking a shorter try-it out option and advanced students looking to sample clay studios. Our experienced instructor will work with students by following an adaptive schedule of hands-on demonstrations. Peer-to-peer support is encouraged along with comfort in working independently as projects may vary greatly. Instruction will be woven into lessons to build knowledge in the areas of throwing, hand-building, glazing techniques, functional wares, object design, and expression. After demonstrations, students may work freely on their own projects with instructor support. While projects can vary, practice and repetition in an instructor led environment are powerful tools for progressing. Students are highly encouraged to repeat classes, support each other, and communicate with instructors their course related questions, needs, and curiosities! PRICE: $149 for 6 Week Class Plus Fees.
