About the class

Enter the Holiday season this year by creating your very own beautifully and joyfully decorated Porcelain Ornaments! You and your family will be able to pick from multiple themed shapes to create your ornament base, before using decorative slip techniques to add color and surface texture to your ornaments. 

Come enjoy working with clay while creating something together as family for your home. No clay experience is necessary. Anybody under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult (adult must purchase a ticket of their own).
