Create beautiful luminary out of clay! This class will go over the basic techniques of coil-building with clay to build a small house-shaped vessel. We will cut out tiny holes for windows and place a candle in it to light up the holidays! Adults and youth can work together to design objects of varying complexity. Students will use airdry clay so they can take them home immediately to give as a gift or to keep for themselves! Airdry clay can be painted with acrylic paint if you'd like to add some color in the future.

  • Ages 8+ are welcomed, if accompanied by a ticket holding adult.
