• Use of carving tools and supplies
• Your choice of glaze color, applied by our studio
Keep both pumpkins for yourself, or bring a friend and carve one pumpkin each! During checkout, you’ll let us know whether we should reserve one or two seats for your ticket.
No clay experience is needed. We’ll show you how to safely carve your designs, then you can make your pumpkins spooky, sweet or completely your own.
Please allow approximately 45–90 minutes to complete your pumpkins.

Important Things to Know
This is a beginner handbuilding experience — no pottery wheel.
Ceramics are an unpredictable medium, and we cannot guarantee that your piece will survive the drying, bisque firing or glaze firing process. Cracking, warping, separation, breakage and variations in shape or glaze can occur. Clay also shrinks approximately 15% from wet clay to the finished piece.
If your does not survive the process, you may choose a finished piece as a memento of your session.
Class length is approximately 45 minutes–2 hours, depending on class size, skill level and project details. Classes begin and end at the published times.
