Drop In Sunday – Pumpkin

Sunday, August 18, we will be making ceramic pumpkins. Use it to decorate your holiday table, or add it as a focal point for a seasonal bouquet.

You will be provided with a slab of clay, and a paper template. You can use any number of rolling pins and stamps I have to make a variety of textures on your pumpkin. You will then trace around the stencil on the clay, and then fold the clay up to make the pumpkin shape. You can add leaves, a stem and tendrils.

Folding the clay up to make the pumpkin shape is a little bit tricky, so it may not be an appropriate activity for the very young, but I will leave it to you to decide what your child can do or can’t do. 

The cost is $15. 

Come back two weeks later to glaze your pumpkin. 

Your pumpkin will be ready for pick up  within 3 weeks from glazing. This is the project for Sunday 8/18. The drop in workshop is offered from 2  – 4 pm.  It will probably take you about half an hour to make the pumpkin. You can come any time between those hours – just plan on half an hour to make the pumpkin. A different project will be offered every weekend. Projects for the fall include  pine tree luminaires, pine tree stands and other holiday oriented projects. Once glazed and fired the pots will be dishwasher safe, microwaveable and oven proof.
