Cowork - Downstairs

In this beginner-friendly ceramics class, you’ll create your very own garden gnome or charming figurine—perfect for brightening up a flower bed, windowsill, or bookshelf.

With expert guidance from our ceramics instructor, you’ll learn how to use basic hand-building techniques to shape your creature from the ground up. Whether you want to make a classic gnome, a quirky critter, or a whimsical woodland friend, you’ll have access to sculpting tools, texture rollers, and colorful underglazes to bring your vision to life.

This workshop is great for all skill levels and offers a relaxing, creative environment to get your hands a little messy and your imagination going. Once finished, your piece will be carefully dried, kiln-fired, and ready for pick-up just in time to add some personality to your spring decor.
