Program Description

We are delighted to introduce a fresh ceramics workshop to our summer Makers Series. Join Renee Norwood, a dear friend of the museum, for a hands-on experience in designing your own custom garden stakes. During this session, you will work with pre-fired ceramic pieces, adding your personal artistic flair through the art of glazing. It’s a perfect opportunity to craft a whimsical, one-of-a-kind accent for your garden. Your finished masterpieces will be fired and ready for collection approximately seven to 10 days after the workshop.
