Scout Workshops

We have worked with both Boy and Girl Scouts to create workshops for your troops.  Schedule with us to get them in with hands-on activities to earn badges, or as part of your troops celebratory event!

Scout Workshops

Group Handbuilt Clay Rates: $280 for a workshop of up to 8 scouts, additional $35 per scout beyond that.

Group Warm Glass Rates: Contact us for pricing.

Timing: Each workshop is 1.5 hours long.  Contact us with date and time options and the ‘inquire here’ button below. 

Highlights:

  • Badge-Focused Projects: We offer projects to help scouts meet their pottery badge requirements.  Let us know what badge you are working on and we will provide some great project options in both clay and warm glass.
  • Expert Instruction: Our experienced teaching artists will guide scouts through each step.
  • Creative Fun: Scouts will learn fundamental hand building techniques to create their own unique pieces.
  • Easy Registration for multiple Workshops: Planning more than 3 workshops throughout the year, and want each member to pay separately? We can create a private registration link for groups of 8 or more.
  • Unique projects for badges: check out some of our examples below of how we can help your troops earn their badge.
