Students will have the opportunity to decorate the pumpkin as they see fit and paint it with colored clay (called slip). The dried pieces will be fired and given a coat of clear glaze. 

The finished pieces can be picked up four weeks after the workshop date. Pieces will be intended to have a tea candle placed in the center to complete the spooky look. 

All materials included, and the workshop is encouraged for ages 13 and older. No experience is needed.

Cost is $125  including all materials.
