Nature Inspired Ceramic Migratory Bird Ornaments

Description

Celebrate spring and bird migration by combining art and nature in this hands-on pottery workshop! Over two weeks, you will design and craft a beautiful ceramic bird ornament using natural textures, custom stencils, and tools from our makerspace, The Nest.

You'll learn slab-building techniques, explore surface textures, and experiment with sculpting and carving to bring your bird ornament to life. Using kiln-fired clay, your finished piece will be both durable and unique.

No prior experience? No problem! This workshop is beginner-friendly and open to all skill levels. Finished ornaments will be ready for pickup within two weeks of the last class.
