Bring a little greenery into your winter by creating a TRIO of succulent planters using a modified pinch pot technique! In this one-day class, your pots will be partially formed and waiting for you to add your unique creative touches! You can choose various ceramic techniques such as modeling, carving, or sgraffito processes to make your pots your very own. You can choose to add your underglaze colors yourself that night, or direct Wass staff with a quick sketch on how you would like your piece to be over-glazed after your creation is finished. Choices of glazes and how they look once fired in our kilns will be available to help you choose which technique you’d like. Your pieces will be fired in the kiln and ready to pickup in a week or so (we will contact you)!
