Make a planter helper that’s equal parts useful and delightfully weird. Saturday, May 23 *12–2p View Details & Register Today - https://tinyurl.com/PlanterMandrake
In this hands-on ceramics class, you’ll sculpt one (potentially two) whimsical mandrake companions designed to sit in your potted plants and guide water straight to the roots (perfect for dense foliage or potted trees).
You’ll hand-build with terra cotta clay, add expressive faces, root-like limbs, and texture, then underglaze the bloom for a pop of color.
Pieces will be kiln-fired and ready for pickup two weeks later at The Arts.
Beginner-friendly and great for experienced makers, too.
Come make something playful, practical, and totally unique for your home or garden.
