Clay Class: Backyard Biodiversity Workshop
Create two handmade stoneware pieces that help turn your garden into a welcoming habitat for nature's hardest workers!
In this two-part clay series, you'll build a Pollinator Plate, a shallow oasis for bees, butterflies, and birds and a cozy Frog Fort, giving beneficial amphibians a cool, protected place to rest. Together, they create a charming garden set that's both beautiful and functional.
Sunday, July 12 | 1:00–4:00 PM
Part 1: Pollinator Plate
Handbuild a 6–8" stoneware plate complete with bee cups, butterfly puddlers, and a bird bath. Shape and decorate your oasis with textures, flowers, leaves, or any details that fit your garden style.
Followed by: Frog Fort
Using handbuilding techniques, you'll create a rounded clay dome with a coordinating base plate. Add doors, windows, mushrooms, vines, stepping stones, or whimsical architectural details to make it uniquely yours. We'll guide you step-by-step, so beginners are always welcome.
Two Weeks Later: Paint Day
Return to glaze both of your creations! Whether you imagine earthy woodland colors, cheerful florals, or magical fairy-garden vibes, you'll finish your Backyard Biodiversity set with your own creative style.
