Unleash your creativity and get into the holiday spirit by crafting your very own pottery snowman! In this hands-on class, participants will learn the basics of hand-building pottery techniques to sculpt a charming, festive snowman. Perfect for beginners and seasoned artists alike, this class will guide you step-by-step through the process of shaping and assembling clay components, adding personal details, and creating a one-of-a-kind decoration for the winter season.
You will start by forming the body from simple clay spheres, then move on to designing the snowman's face, hat, scarf, and any additional accessories like buttons or a broom. We’ll also cover important tips on texture, balance, and how to make your snowman come to life with unique character and flair. Once your sculpture is complete, it will be kiln-fired and ready for glazing during a follow-up session.
Join us for a fun and festive creative experience that will leave you with a pottery piece to treasure for years!
