Join others in a small class setting to make a cozy mug inspired by nature in this fun hand-building ceramic class. Angela, from The Nature Atelier, will guide you through the steps to turn a slab of clay into a usable work of art. You will chose your favorite pieces of flora and natural items to create a textured design that represents the environment found at Hoyt Arboretum.
This class is beginner-friendly. Each participant will make one mug which will be fired, glazed, and returned at a later date. Participants can pick-up their final piece from the Hoyt Arbroetum Visitor Center 3 to 4 weeks after the program date.
- Space is limited, please register online in advance
- Registration closes Saturday, October 10th at 4:00pm
