Private Class for NCCS Guild Members: In this beginner friendly hand building class, participants will learn how to construct their own “Kaitlin-inspired” Christmas Tree using clay slabs, stencils, cones, hole punchers, and whimsey.

Kaitlin will lead you step by step thru the process and offer advice on glazing techniques.

*Guild members will provide their own pre-rolled slab for this project and glaze their bisqued tree.

Either Kaitlin or the studio will provide all other tools and supplies needed to build the tree, including the tree template and form, various stencils, texture tools, and hole punchers.

Date and Time: October 3, 1:00pm-3:30pm

Cost: $30

What to bring to class:  

• Participants are responsible for providing a 13X17 inch soft clay slab (this is approximately 4 pounds of clay). If you use the slab roller, your slab should be rolled to the line made by the black sharpie or a bit thicker.

• Participants can provide any other unique texture tools, stamps, hole puncher shapes, etc., if you want something other than what’s available at the studio.

Please note that we do not have a parking lot. We have a few metered street parking spots in front of the studio. If you want to park in a space off the street that is reserved for Nicodemus Center customers, I recommend parking a block further down at the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Waynesboro. Our studio is on a one-way street. If you pass the studio (it will be on your left) continue roughly a block further up the street. The church is on your left.
