Learn how to sculpt a clay witch hat luminary while enjoying a glass of wine! Join us for a pottery class taught by potters from the pottery department of the Appalachian Arts and Craft Center in Clinton, TN. Uncover the flickering shadows that will perfectly add to your fall and Halloween decorations.
Each student will create a beautiful, hand-crafted, textured clay luminary, perfect for Halloween. The luminary will be in the shape of a witch hat and decorated with spiders and all things spooky. Expert potters will lead you through each step of the process with hands-on instruction. They will guide you through the process of coming up with a design, marking it out on your piece, and using a blade to cut it out and then smooth it! Learn the basics of clay sculpting, glazing and firing. The class is $40 and includes all materials, including the glaze and firing. Appalachian Art Center Potters will finish the luminaries with glaze colors of your choice before returning them to The Winery for pick up.
Seating is very limited and tickets need to be purchased in advance. Give us a call at (865)745-2902 or sign up through Eventbrite by following the ticket link. The clay will need to be glazed and fired before being returned to The Winery. You must return to The Winery at a later date to pick up your finished pieces.
The class will be held outside, under our tent. This event is rain or shine. All materials, instruction and a glass of wine are included in the ticket price. Tickets must be purchased in advance. Please bring a valid ID. Any participant under the age of 21 or without a valid ID is welcome but will receive a glass of grape juice during the class. Local meat and cheese trays and additional glasses of wine, slushies, and ciders are available for purchase during the class. Arrive early for a $4 wine tasting to try 8 of our wines and choose your favorites.
