Program Description

Event Details

In this class taught by Master Potter Rick Hamelin of Pied Potter Hamelin, kids ages 6-12 will work with white clay, transforming it into whimsical gnomes using coils, pads, stamps and incising techniques for a perfect tactile texture. They will then paint their gnomes with an array of non-toxic acrylic colors, ensuring a vibrant finish. With no glazing or kiln firing required, this experience is an absolute delight for young craft enthusiasts. Registration is required as supplies are limited.
