 Workshops
 
In addition to any officially scheduled workshop, you may schedule a two day workshop if you have 4 to 6 people interested in signing up.  Usually workshops are scheduled for a couple of Sunday afternoons, two hours each day, one week apart.  But more involved projects may take more time.
 
Some of the 2-day workshop projects we have done in the past: pumpkin jars, bowls, mugs, vases, lidded texture boxes, ornaments.  More complicated projects like teapots or mold making require at least 4 classes.  Contact me for workshop prices.
