Parent Night Out While Kids Create

December 13th from 5-7pm

Parents:  Do you need a night away during this busy holiday season?  Would you also like to have a fun, engaging activity for your kids to participate?  Here's your answer!  

Try-it night on the wheel for parents while the kids make you (or someone they love) a ceramic gift that will be ready in time for Christmas!  The kids will be in a separate room so you can enjoy some much needed together time.

What to Expect for Parents:

• Introduction to the Wheel:  We’ll start with a demo to show you the process of centering clay, pulling walls, and shaping a basic vessel (usually a cup or bowl).
• Hands-On Practice: You’ll get your own wheel and clay to work with as the instructor guides you step-by-step. Expect some wobbly pots—it’s part of the process!
• Trimming & Finishing: The instructor will trim your pot once it is leather-hard, about 1-2 days later.
• Glazing: You have two options:
  •  1. Choose the color glaze you would like and the instructor will glaze it for you.
  • 2. Come back during open studio hours, and glaze your own creation for a small additional fee (sign up on the website)
• Take Home Your Work: Your creation will be fired in a kiln and ready for pickup in 3-4 weeks.
• What to bring: Please bring a towel and/or apron to help keep yourself clean, all other materials will be provided for you. You are welcome to bring snacks and drinks to enjoy together!

What to Expect for Kids:

• Fun handbuilt project:  We’ll work with each child to create a special handbuilt project they can gift to someone of their choosing.
• Finish with glaze of their choice: Once they have created their secret project, they get to glaze it! 
• Pick up in time for Christmas: These projects will be ready and gift-wrapped for pick up by 12/20, just in time to gift for the holidays.
