Ceramic Animal Household Adornments

Ring in the Lunar New Year by creating whimsical ceramic animal sculptures that double as useful household objects and adornments.

About the Class

Celebrate our transition into Year of the Fire Horse by making objects of handmade whimsy AND function to adorn your home! Lexi Bakkar leads the students through the creation of multiple objects for the home inspired by the creatures of the world. Create a horse sculpture candlestick, or a tiger wall hook, the possibilities are endless once you learn the fundamentals of this technique, and it won’t be long until your home is full of lovely, functional creatures.

Class FAQ

We ask that you notify us at least 10 days in advance of a class if you need to cancel your registration. You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class.

Sometimes, the Sonoma Community Center has to cancel a class due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or health emergency. If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee (minus the payment processing and services fee), or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.

All credits must be used within 1 year.
