Using various hand building techniques including pinch, coil, and slab, in this two day workshop participants will create tabletop potted cactus, succulent, and plant sculptures. Glazed in a variety of methods, materials, and surface design techniques, these houseplants are guaranteed to thrive in any environment. Participants should expect to create one to three potted plant sculptures between 6-12 inches tall.
