About this Event
Luminary Tree Workshop ??
Light up your holidays with a handmade ceramic tree! In this workshop, you’ll build your own clay luminary—designed to glow from within when lit with a candle or string lights. Learn how to shape your tree by hand, add texture and cutouts, and create something beautiful to display year after year.
You’ll learn step-by-step techniques. Expect clay-covered hands, a calm studio vibe, and a cozy, creative evening.
Your luminary tree will be glazed and fired after class, and ready for pickup in about 2–4 weeks—just in time for holiday decorating.
