 Adorn the house – chimney, trees, flowers, mushrooms…

Make a Toad or Fairy House

What?! You say your toads and garden fairies are homeless? Now, you can build them their very own safe and secure home, out from under foot, perfect for your garden. This particular house is ten inches tall and 7 inches wide.

You will make a ceramic home using slabs of clay and different textures to create that one of a kind home. You will be led through basic construction, and helped to design any embellishments you want to add, within the time allowed. The first class, August 24 from 3 to 5 pm,  will be spent constructing the home, the second, August 31 from 3 to 5 pm, will be spent glazing. After you make and glaze your house, your finished house will be available for pick up, at Prescott,  within 2 weeks.

Both classes will likely take the full two hours allotted.  This workshop is limited to 8 people. 

All ages welcome, though I recommend age 10 and above.  What a great way to spend time with the family before school starts. 

Theoretically, these houses can be left out all winter, but it is not advisable.
