Artists of all levels are invited to spend a delightful morning exploring the playful possibilities of clay in this whimsical hand-building workshop! Starting with simple clay slabs and an easy-to-follow template, you’ll transform humble materials into a charming cottage birdhouse—uniquely yours and ready for its future feathered residents to proudly call home.

This workshop will cover information on harvesting, processing, and weaving with wild fibers such as vines, bark, and leaves. We will work with material harvested from Hambidge's campus to create several small samples of weaving techniques.

Save the date! We have moved our big open house back to the fall. Tune in later for more details.
