Spring is Here! Hand Built Pots & Vases

You could dance around the fire under a full moon but we’d like to suggest a new spring ritual: creating your own planters and vases for all those plants, bulbs and bouquets you know you just can’t resist. Learn slab, coil and drape methods as well as how to use press molds to design unique containers. Finish your masterpiece using beautiful oxide washes and glazes. Make wonderful gifts, if you can bear to part with them. Even Martha Stewart would be impressed!
