Mobile Event at Brucemore: Clay Peony Wall Hanging

May 31 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Discover the beauty of clay in this special collaboration between Brucemore and the Iowa Ceramics Center & Glass Studio!

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create your own one-of-a-kind clay peony. Our experienced instructor will guide you step-by-step through the process, teaching you how to pull, shape, and refine clay into delicate, lifelike petals. Watch your flower come to life as each layer builds into a stunning, dimensional bloom. While this project invites patience and focus, the end result is a truly unique piece you’ll be proud to display.

The workshop will take place in the historic Brucemore Carriage House, with all materials, tools, and instruction provided. After the workshop, your piece will be transported to the Iowa Ceramics Center & Glass Studio, where it will be professionally kiln-fired and glazed, resulting in a vibrant, finished peony ready to hang on your wall.

Registration is required by May 27 at 5:00 PM to reserve your spot.
Cost: $50 per project
