Holiday Garlands - Air Dry Hand Building


Build your own holiday garland with air dry clay!

35 US dollars
West 6th Street

Service Description

This season, join us in the studio for a unique experience that combines creativity, nostalgia, and the joy of holiday traditions. This 1.5 hour handbuilding workshop welcomes all skill levels to sculpt your very own holiday garland out of air-dry clay so you can take it home the same day! No prior experience necessary- our instructors are here to guide you through every step of the way, kindle your holiday spirit and bring out your creative side. You will be given about 1 pound of air dry clay to sculpt pieces of your garland and be able to create festive designs to hang on your wall or wrap around a tree! After the workshop, you will take your creation home to dry and paint. We recommend letting it dry for about 24 hours before painting, and for paint we recommend acrylic craft paint. If you'd like your finished piece to have a strong & shiny finish, we recommend clear shellac spray. No firing or glazing is needed and thus not included in this workshop, as we will be working with air-dry clay. Here at Kilnfolk, we believe that the holidays are about connecting with friends and family, so we encourage you to bring your loved ones along to share in this creative experience!
