In this hands-on workshop, participants will be introduced to basic hand building skills to build and design a unique holiday gnome! Whether you’re new to clay or a seasoned artist, this workshop is the perfect way to tap into your holiday spirit while creating a whimsical, festive decoration for your home.

In this workshop, you will:

• Learn basic clay sculpting techniques, such as rolling, pinching, and molding, to create your gnome’s body, hat, beard, and accessories.
• Personalize your gnome with unique details — add a variety of clay festive hats, scarves, and accessories to make your gnome one-of-a-kind.
• Add color using our underglaze paints – we’ll fire it in the kiln for you!
• Receive guidance from an experienced instructor who will walk you through every step of the process, ensuring your gnome turns out perfectly!

This workshop is designed for adults and teens (all ages are welcome with adult supervision), making it a fun, creative experience for all skill levels. Whether you’re looking to create a new holiday tradition or simply want to unwind with some hands-on art, this class will leave you with a delightful holiday gnome to brighten up your home or give as a gift.
