Pinch Pots
In this class, we’ll be making simple and fun pinch pots! Come learn how to make a bowl, mug, or small platter with beautiful organic shapes. We’ll sculpt the dishes in this class and choose glaze colors; glazing and firing will be done for you, and the finished pieces will be available in 2-3 weeks at The Nest.

Leaf Impression Bowls
Before the last leaves fall, let’s use them to make some beautiful and functional art that we can use all year round! We’ll use natural leaves to create textured impressions on clay that we’ll then form into bowls that will be fired into durable ceramics. Do you have a favorite tree? Feel free to bring your own leaves to decorate with! Forms will be finished during the class, then dried and fired; finished bowls will be ready to pick up 3 weeks later.

Ghost Votives
Come make a spooooooky votive topper with Courtney! We’ll be using the pinch pot method to sculpt clay into your own unique ghost. Carving a mouth and eyes will let the flickering candlelight illuminate your creation for a Halloween decoration (or year round – you do you) that you can enjoy forever. Your ghost will be carefully dried, fired, glazed, and ready for pickup in 2-3 weeks, with plenty of time to enjoy spooky season together.
