Dates: Saturday, October 4

Time: 1:00pm - 4:00pm

Instructor: Craig Clifford

Create your own tiki cups in clay. We’ll build the cup with slabs and add clay for the face and decoration. Instructor will guide students in the construction of slab cups and provide resources for inspiration in how to develop the details to transform the cup into a tiki cup. Students will learn to add elements, carve and create texture surfaces and features. At the end underglaze your pieces for added color. Once the firing process is complete, we'll notify you that your finished projects are ready to be picked up.

All supplies included.
