Who says you have to wait for December to get festive? Join us for a
little midsummer holiday cheer in this creative and hands-on clay
workshop. In just two hours, you’ll learn how to roll out slabs of clay
and build your own whimsical Christmas tree, complete with textured
details and custom embellishments.
After your tree is bisque
fired and ready, you’ll return by appointment to paint it using
watercolor or acrylics. Whether your style is classic or quirky, your
creation will be a fun and festive keepsake—ready to shine come
December.
No clay experience? No problem. Just bring your imagination and a willingness to celebrate the season a little early!
Instructor's name:Missy Hitch
Missy's
creative obsession with clay began with an introductory ceramics class.
She found herself spending countless hours in the studio- exploring,
learning, and refining her craft. After a decade of working with clay,
she became a ceramics instructor at Prairie Arts Center, where she now
teaches hand-building and beginning wheel classes.
Missy
specializes in creating functional everyday pieces like mugs, baking
dishes, and teapots, but she also enjoys crafting decorative work. Over
the years, she has gathered a wealth of techniques and tricks, which she
loves sharing with her students to make pottery both fun and
accessible. Whether at the wheel or in the classroom, Missy finds joy in
helping others discover the magic of clay.
