Santa’s Workshop Saturday

December 17, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

$18 – $35

Our Santa’s Workshop series returns for 2022!

Beginning November 19th, a workshop will be held every Saturday and Sunday from 11am-12pm through December 18th.

We invite you to come in and decorate a variety of pre-made Holiday Projects to celebrate the holiday season.  All projects are handmade by our Resident Artists and bisque fired, making them ready for your own decorations–using our glazes/paints.  There is no pre-registration, this workshop is for walk-ins only.  You can choose to decorate your project in our classroom, or take it home and return it to us later for firing.

All clay projects will then be clear coated and fired in our kilns. Glass Ornaments will also be fired in our kilns to smooth all the edges. Projects will be ready for pickup exactly 2 weeks later.

Projects are limited and you will choose from a variety of project options including (while quantities last):

We are so excited to welcome you back for 2022 Santa’s Workshop Series!  Participants in the Santa’s Workshop will work at tables to complete their projects in the classroom, or they can take them home and return them to us later. All material is provided to complete your projects along with detailed instruction sheets.  All projects (except for the glass ornaments) are premade by our Resident Artists and bisque fired in our kilns, no two are exactly the same.  After you have finished decorating your project in the classroom (or at home), all clay projects will then be clear coated with glaze and fired kilns.
