Ceramics Workshop

Have you ever wanted to try sculpting with clay? In this 6-week series, participants will follow a step-by-step demonstration to create simple sculptures using hand-building techniques. Each piece will be finished with an underglaze and fired in our kiln, then we will apply a clear coat of glaze and fire it a second time.

Projects will be ready to be picked up 2 weeks after the end of the workshop.
