ADULT HAND BUILDING WORKSHOPS
(NOT on the pottery wheel)
NEW Workshop: CHICKENS!!
Sunday, March 22, 10am-Noon
$80 includes all materials, firing, and glazing of your chicken.
Join us this month to create one of these whimsical chickens! You'll start by texturing a slab of clay. From there, you'll cut out a template and assemble the conical body.
You'll then sculpt and add the eyes, beak and other features to make this absolutely adorable chicken come to life! You'll leave the clucker with us to glaze and fire and you'll get it back in about a month to adorn your home or garden!
BUTTER DISH
Sunday, April 12, 10am-Noon
$80 includes all materials, firing, and glazing of your butter dish.
For many of us, our butter dishes live out on the counter or the table for everyone to see, but they are plain old boring dishes. Why not liven up your daily toast ritual with a one-of-a-kind handmade butter dish?
You’ll use templates and slabs to create the appropriate size and shape vessel, and then you’ll use your creativity to make it unique! We’ll give you all the tools you need to create a beautiful butter dish. You’ll pick glazes at the end of the workshop and your piece will be fired and glazed for you by the end of the month.
