Inspired by the classic movie musical Little Shop of Horrors, participants will get a chance to glaze a terracotta planter with ceramics glazes of their choice, in addition to selecting a plant to add to their creation once it has been fired in the ceramics kiln.
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.

Upon its release in 1997, Belgian director Alain Berliner’s film was unique in its attempt to explore the issue of gender identity by examining it from multiple perspectives. The film took home the Golden Globe award for Best Foreign Language Film, and it continues to this day to move viewers with its emotionally rich portrayal of a modern family wrestling with the complexities, both internal and external, of gender.

Dorothy, a young farm girl from Kansas, and her lovable terrier Toto get caught in the midst of a terrifying tornado whose house-shaking force ultimately knocks Dorothy unconscious. When she finally awakens, she is amazed to find herself in a land that defies imagination: Dorothy is greeted by benevolent witch Glinda and a host of Munchkins who explain that she has inadvertently rid the Land of Oz from the scourge of the Wicked Witch of The East and, in return, is given the bad witch’s ruby red slippers. All is not well, however – The Wicked Witch of The West vows revenge on Dorothy for killing her sister. Dorothy and Toto, in order to find a way back to Kansas, set out upon the Yellow Brick Road where they encounter not only The Scarecrow, The Tin Man, and The Cowardly Lion, but also trials and triumphs on their way to the Emerald City and its patron, The Wizard of Oz himself!
Nominated for numerous awards – including a Golden Globe and several People’s Choice honors for Chalamet – director Paul King’s Wonka features excellent special effects, an energetic cast, and a batch of new songs that all combine to revitalize one of the all-time greatest characters in the history of fantasy films.
Written and directed by Moranis and Thomas, Strange Brew grew from humble beginnings as a sketch on SCTV, Canada’s version of Saturday Night Live. (Very) loosely based on Shakespeare’s classic tragedy Hamlet, this film is a bummer only if you hate to laugh out loud, eh.
Based on the novel by Hugo Award-winning fantasy author Peter S Beagle (who also wrote the screenplay), and featuring the voice talents of A-list stars of the era including Mia Farrow, Alan Arkin, and Jeff Bridges, The Last Unicorn is an amazing journey through fantasy and myth artfully rendered by a production studio that raised the bar for animated feature films throughout the 1970s and 80s. It is unquestionable a classic of the fantasy genre – a wonderful movie that deserves to be remembered as a touchstone in the history of hand-drawn movie-making.
