Clay Class at The Pottery Shop: Cottage Core Mushroom Box

This class is perfect for beginners and will have you getting your hands dirty and creating something by hand! We will learn basic pinching and coiling techniques to make this cute mushroom shaped box (base and lid). Photographs represent the techniques demonstrated in class and are illustrative only - your project will be uniquely yours. We provide all the tools, materials and instruction to get you rolling!

*Please note this is a handbuilding session, not wheel throwing. Ceramics is an unpredictable medium and undesirable outcomes may include cracks/warping/separation at joins and breakage in the kiln and participant understands we can not guarantee results.

BEFORE REGISTERING, PLEASE READ:

This is a two part experience. When you come in you will create your piece by hand. When it dries we will fire it in the Kiln the first time, then invite you back at your convenience to paint your masterpiece. It then gets fired in the kiln one more time before you take it home and show everyone your skills!
