About this Event
Spend a morning with us and sculpt a completely custom holiday platter of your choosing! After choosing and forming your clay into the perfect shape to fit your vision, you'll be able to sculpt fun details and add custom text, so this isn't your basic “paint your own pottery” experience! Whether you're celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Thanksgiving, Halloween, or just want to give a beautiful wedding or holiday gift, this platter is the perfect addition for any occasion. You will have total creative freedom to make your vision come to life, and Kim and Delaney will be there to help along the way. After you finish sculpting your dish, adding festive details, and custom wording, you'll be able to glaze your own colorful details and choose a glaze for the base color of your dish. Your beautiful dish will also be completely food and dishwasher safe, and a fantastic addition for your next special occasion! All skill levels are welcome to attend and we hope to see you soon! :)
Available Class Dates: Monday, September 23rd from 10am-12pm, and Saturday, September 28th from 10am-12pm.
About Crane and Clover's Barn Studio Space!
Step into Crane and Clover's Barn Studio Space, where creativity thrives amidst the charm of our family farm! As you enter the property through the stone columns out front, follow the gravel driveway and take your first right towards our barn. Follow the signs for parking. Upon entering the barn, you'll find our beautiful art and floral design workshop where creativity thrives!
The picturesque view of the lake and fresh air inspires students of any age, but there's more to our studio than meets the eye. Say hello to our ponies, Hershey and Bunny, who love to say hello when they are not busy grazing in the pasture. And when nature calls don't worry, we've got you covered! No porta potties here! You have access to an indoor and air conditioned bathroom just steps away in the tack room. Every comfort is addressed so you can focus on unleashing your creativity and making your creations come to life!
Things to Know About This Space:
-This studio is in our barn and we often leave the doors open, so be sure to wear clothes that are compatible for the weather! During the summer months, we keep large fans going and the barn doors open for that lovely summer breeze. In the winter months, we have space heaters that keep the barn nice and toasty. We will also have bug spray on hand in case you meet a tiny friend you don't want around! Please keep in mind, this is a working farm, with uneven surfaces to walk on. We have reserved a parking spot up front for anyone who needs it, but please be aware that there is a small stretch of gravel between the car and the barn door. Floors in the barn are concrete. If you need special accommodation, please don't hesitate to reach out and we will do our best to accommodate.
Kiln Firing Disclaimer!
When we fire ceramics in the kiln, the process involves heating your artwork to very high temperatures (around 2235°F!) to make them strong and prepared for glazing. However, sometimes ceramics can explode during firing. This can be caused by a number of reasons, like trapped air pockets, lingering moisture in the clay, or just plain bad luck! If your sculpture ends up having a rough time in the kiln, don't stress it! We will reach out to schedule a day where you can come out and sculpt your masterpiece again, free of charge.
Our unofficial motto at the Crane and Clover is “We do it right, because we do it twice!”
Picking Up Your Finished Ceramics!
Finished ceramics are typically ready for pick up two weeks after your class depending on the size and glazing detail of your project. Each piece will be carefully glazed by Kim and Delaney with the glazes of your choice, and once your pieces are done with the firing process, we will reach out to schedule what day and time works best for you to pick up your custom ceramic masterpiece!
