Kids Party Project Options:

Mythological

Always a favorite project for the kids–using hand building techniques, participants will create something out of their imagination. Will it be a Dragon, Creatures under the sea or a fantastical pet?

Jolly Gnome

Kids will create a jolly gnome. It's up to them to decide what the gnome is wearing to bring their idea to life.

Monster

By turning a pinch pot on its side, participants will make monsters. Will they have teeth, horns or a snake tongue?

Animal Pot

Kids will learn how to create a pinch pot planter to resemble their favorite animal–real or imaginary!
