About us
Arts Lab of South County is where Southern Anne Arundel County comes to make things. We're home to resident artist studios, a gallery, and a classroom and communal space, plus Clay on the Bay, where clay makers work side by side, share ideas and materials, and figure out their next thing together. Come for open studios, classes, art talks, and free hands on programs, and stay to watch work actually get made. We offer art up close, in person, and in progress. Founded in 2018 by five South County women who believe in the power of creative community, we're here to make art accessible, nurturing, and thrilling for artists and neighbors alike. No experience required, just curiosity. Come make something with us.

Teach Your Craft: You have more to share than you realize!
Deale Library - Anne Arundel County Public Library, 5940 Deale Churchton Rd, Deale, MD 20751, USA, Deale, MD, USKnowing your craft and knowing how to teach it are two different skills, and the second one can be learned.
Teaching Your Craft: You Have More to Share Than You Think
Has anyone ever said, “You should teach that”?
You know how to make it. But how do you teach it?
Then the questions start: Where do I even begin? What do beginners need to know first? How do I fill a two-hour class? What if I freeze up?
Knowing your craft and knowing how to teach it are two different skills, and the second one can be learned. Join us for a free, relaxed talk about what it really takes to share your craft.This talk is for you if you…
• Get asked “How did you make that?” more than you can count
• Have been quietly thinking about teaching for a while
• Think “I’m not good enough to teach” (spoiler: you probably are)
• Would love to see someone else fall for what you love
What we’ll chat about
• The most common mistakes new teachers make, and how to avoid them
• Spotting the steps you do without thinking that trip up beginners
• The questions every new teacher should ask about supplies, setup and timing
• What makes a class memorable, not just informative
• How to start teaching at Arts Lab
• Plus: a takeaway with optional homework to start sketching out your first workshopNo teaching experience needed. Just a craft you know and a curiosity about sharing it.
