Join us Monday October 5 and 12 from 3 – 5 pm to make a planter. Using a mold,and a slab of clay, you will be led through the steps to make a planter pictured – or one very similar reflecting your own style and flair. We will use texture to decorate the planter – the studio has more than 20 rolling pins, numerous, stamps, and multiple texture plates. Or, you can use leaves and ferns to create your own design. What a great opportunity to show off a favorite plant! Or , fill it with holiday bulbs and gift it! The first class we will make the planter, the second class, two weeks later at the same time, you will glaze the pot.
Make a date with you best buddy – have lunch at one of Groton’s famous restaurants – then play with clay!
The class starts promptly at 3 pm. Please arrive on time.
