Patriotic Christmas Tree with Jim and Amy Anderson Every year we have a different tree for students to make and add to their Holiday collection. This years Christmas Tree will commemorate 250 years of our wonderful USA, in colors of red, white, and blue. Students will start by making a coil tree and adding clay balls and topped with a star using a slip and score method of attachment. The clay balls and star will be painted with red and blue colored slips. The tree will be slow dried and bisque fired, then glazed fired in white with the colors popping through. The trees will be ready to pick up in 2 - 3 weeks and ready for the Christmas Holiday!
Adults and Youth 6 - 14
Please note the youth studio is in a historic building with stairs.

Bring back the magic of the classic ceramic Christmas tree and make yours from the mold up! In this two-session workshop, you’ll learn the slip-casting process while creating your own vintage ceramic Christmas tree plus 3–4 miniature trees.
During the first session, you’ll cast your trees, clean up the seams, and create the holes for the colorful lights. During the second session, you’ll decorate your trees with glaze and learn how the light kit is installed.
Your tree includes a light kit and colorful plastic bulbs. After glazing you’ll be able to choose your bulbs and complete the final assembly at home. No clay experience necessary.
