Workshop | Non - Traditional Pumpkin Decorating

In this class you will learn two non-traditional (no carving mess here!) techniques and have opportunity to practice them and create finished pumpkins in the workshop. These techniques can be used on other pumpkins throughout the Halloween/Harvest season to be used for decorations, tablescapes, front door, and more. A fresh way to design your pumpkins this year!

First Technique: First you will learn how to create a stencil and work with paint techniques to make patterns and different designs on the pumpkin. A variety of paint colors will be provided to match any decor theme.

Second Technique: For your second pumpkin, you will learn how to create designs on your pumpkin using yarn, ribbon, and the magic of pins. Sewing pins will keep the ribbons and yarn in place as you create designs. This is a must-try!

What's provided:

- Two, 6 - 8inch pumpkins to create on during the workshop

- All materials for both techniques

- Soda or sparkling water included, spiked seltzers and beer for purchase ($6)!

So grab a friend or two, and get in the creative spirit!
