Ceramics at the Cinema: The Birds Hanging Bird Feeder

Watch Trailer Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Cast: Tippie Hedren, Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette

“Have you ever seen so many birds..?!”

In line with the theme of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 psychological-horror masterpiece The Birds, participants in this relaxing event will decorate a bisqueware bird feeder with colorful ceramics glazes in a design of their choice. Once glazed, the items will be taken and fired to create the finished product. These cute birdfeeders can be hung up and used to attract neighborhood songbirds. The finished pieces will be available for pick up in the Athena lobby one week after the event.

The Ceramics at the Cinema series is a monthly ceramics series that allows participants the opportunity to glaze a bisqueware ceramic project at The Athena Cinema on a weekend afternoon. Each project is paired with a themed movie, presented that evening, on the rooftop of the Athens City Parking Garage, as part of our Movies on the Rooftop series.

We have three ticket options:

– Ceramics at the Cinema Basic – $30: includes admission to the class with all materials for your ceramic piece

– Ceramics at the Cinema Deluxe Single – $50: includes admission to the class with all the materials for your ceramic piece, 1 ticket to the Movie on the Rooftop, and 2 drinks of your choice

– Ceramics at the Cinema Deluxe Couple – $100: includes admission to the class for 2 with all the materials for your ceramic pieces, 2 tickets to the Movie on the Rooftop, and 4 drinks of your choice

Be advised that open slots to attend the glazing tutorials will be limited to 30 people. These events often sell out fast, so don’t wait to claim your spot.
