Service Description

Join Gin Scott to create your very own Nativity Set with figures of Mary holding baby Jesus, Joseph and an Angel. You will choose either red or white stoneware clay for your set, roll it into a slab, shape the slab into cones and then turn the cones into timeless Christmas Nativity figures. The Nativities will be fired in our kilns and available for pick up on November 29th and after. This workshop is offered on Friday, November 14th, from 6-8:30 pm. For ages 14 and up. There are 2 options if you would like to make a Nativity with your child (age 8 and up), 1) Register each of you separately and you will each receive your own slab that makes one Nativity Set or 2) Register just yourself and your child can make a Nativity Set with you. Please note the name and age of your child on your registration for studio set up purposes. Please note, these pieces are intended to remain their natural clay color. If you would like to glaze your Nativity pieces, you may set up a separate 2 hour time slot with the instructor. There will be an additional $30 charge for glazing and firing your Nativity one more time. Instructor: Gin Scott Gin is the owner of Create Pottery Studio and loves teaching clay classes!
