🎄 Holiday Gnomes: Sculpt & Paint Workshop
📅 December 4th | 🕕 6:00–8:30 PM
Get into the holiday spirit and create your very own whimsical ceramic gnome in this fun and festive handbuilding and painting workshop!
Whether you envision a classic Christmas gnome with a bright red hat, a playful little character covered in candy cane stripes, or a woodland-inspired friend, you'll learn simple handbuilding techniques to bring your unique holiday gnome to life.
We'll guide you step-by-step through shaping, assembling, and adding all those charming little details that give each gnome its own personality. You can even add cut-out holes to your gnome's hat to transform it into a glowing luminary, or keep it as a whimsical decorative sculpture!
Once your gnome is built, you'll bring it to life with colourful underglazes, painting festive patterns, playful details, and your own creative touches. No two gnomes will be alike, and that's part of the magic!
No pottery experience is needed! Just bring your creativity and a little holiday cheer.
After the workshop, your gnome will be professionally clear glazed and kiln fired at The Kiln Room. Your finished piece will be ready for pickup approximately 2–6 weeks after the workshop.
