Pumpkin Mania (Pottery)
with Marian Yancey

If you love colorful pumpkins for autumn decorations and if you like miniature things, join me for this class using all stoneware clays, your choice of white, buff, or speckled buff. You may make as many as you can with your provided clay, in the first four-hour session, then glaze them as strikes your fancy at the second four-hour session. Pick up your treasures at the third session. This is a perfect class for anyone who thinks they're not creative. Pumpkins are usually irregularly shaped in nature, so you can't mess up! Just have fun. If you prefer perfection of perspective, go for it! You might risk embarrassing Mother Nature on this one!
