Designing a pattern: Sketching repeat motifs, mapping positive/negative space, and transferring designs to your pots.
Clay knowledge & consistency: Understanding clay stages (from soft to leather-hard), ideal timing for carving, and tips to prevent cracks.
Carving techniques: Piercing, incising, and sgraffito for crisp lines and luminous cutouts—plus wall-thickness and safety considerations.
Underglazing: Layering color, clean edges, and when to use underglaze vs. slip.
What’s included:
Clay, tools, underglazes, and glazes
Instructor demos and guided work time
2–3 finished votive candle pots (fired and ready for pickup at a later date)
Tea lights for that first glow
