Create your own cozy little village in this charming clay handbuilding workshop! In this class, you’ll learn how to roll and cut a slab of clay, then build three miniature houses using simple slab techniques. Once your houses are shaped and assembled, you’ll attach them to a base slab—leaving one corner open to hold a tealight candle.
When the candle is lit, your tiny village will glow from behind the windows, creating a warm, whimsical display perfect for any shelf or tabletop.
No clay experience needed—just bring your creativity, and we’ll guide you step-by-step!

Pre-registration is required — each person in your group (including kids) must have a ticket.

What’s included:
Up to 2 lbs of clay per participant
Instruction in handbuilding techniques
Tools and materials for decorating your piece
Glazing and two kiln firings included

Want to sit with friends? Let us know in your order notes and we’ll do our best to seat you together
Class may be canceled if fewer than 5 people are registered 24 hours in advance; in that case, we’ll contact you and issue a class credit. Your finished pieces will be fired in our kiln and ready for pickup in about 3 weeks at The Firestone in Manchester, CT
