Join us as we dive into some very simple sculpting.  You’ll create your own holiday snow-person  in this beginner friendly hand-building class!

This is a 3-hour beginners hand-building class where you will learn the basics of sculpting up to 1.5 pounds of clay into the likeness of your snowman! No prior experience needed! Your instructor will guide you through the techniques needed to bring your piece to life, and will be around to answer questions and offer tips and tricks.

After the workshop, we will bisque fire your pieces and glaze them in one color of your choice. Want to get more creative with glazing? Come back to the studio after your piece is bisque fired and paint your project with our underglazes and a clear glaze to finish it for an additional $20, and we will glaze fire it after that.

Attire: Wear something comfortable that you are willing to get dirty (clay does wash out of clothes). Closed-Toe shoes are required for any session involving pottery wheels.

Pro tip: long nails can make it difficult to work with clay, so plan accordingly, or ask your instructor for tips.  If you have long hair, we recommend that you tie it back.
