WAC Members Inspire the Next Generation of Ceramic Artists

Wickenburg Art Club members Marcie Nowak and Carla Fite are helping bring ceramics to life for students at Mountainside High School in Wittmann. Working alongside the school's art teacher, they have been teaching approximately 75 students across three classes the fundamentals of hand-building techniques, including pinch pots, coil pots, and slab construction.

Their contributions extend beyond the classroom. Marcie and Carla have played an important role in helping establish the school's ceramics program by assisting with curriculum development, organizing inventory, and even helping repair the kiln.

Marcie's passion for clay began in high school in 1968 and has continued throughout her life. She has expanded her skills through workshops in Colorado and New Mexico and joined the Wickenburg Art Club shortly after moving to Wickenburg in November 2020. She describes WAC as a welcoming home base that has supported her growth as an artist.

Carla joined WAC in 2018 after responding to an advertisement in the Wickenburg Sun promoting art classes. She quickly discovered a love for working with clay and became an active member of the club.

Both women credit the Wickenburg Art Club with providing the encouragement, support, and creative opportunities that have helped them explore new artistic directions. Through their volunteer efforts at Whitman High School, they are now passing that same spirit of learning and artistic exploration on to the next generation of artists.

Our goal is to make 200 masks for the Paws & Paintbrushes Mystery Masquerade. The mask tracker on the right shows our current progress toward this goal.

We have a mask making station set up at WAC, filled with masks, paint, glitter, feathers and all kinds of fun embellishments.

We invite you to stop by and make a mask or two for this fundraiser event. You can stop in any time to make a mask on site, or take a mask with you to work on at home!

Masks are also now on sale at WAC for a minimum donation of $20 each.

All proceeds will go to the fundraiser, which benefits both WAC and K9 Konnections.
