About this Event
Spend an evening in the studio creating your own ceramic lantern from clay.
In this beginner-friendly handbuilding class, you’ll design and build a functional lantern with cutouts that cast a warm, glowing light. Whether you lean simple and earthy or detailed and decorative, each piece is uniquely yours.
We’ll guide you through shaping, assembling, and adding surface details to bring your lantern to life. Once fired and finished, it’s perfect for adding a soft glow to your space all season long.
No experience needed—just come ready to get a little muddy and make something beautiful.
