Char"BOO"terie Family Makers Workshop

Parent + Youth (Ages 8+) Handbuilding Workshop

Create Halloween décor you'll actually use this season in a fun, side-by-side pottery experience designed for parents and kids to make together.

In this two-hour guided workshop, each participant will create their own project while learning foundational hand-building techniques. Adults will craft a beautiful serving platter that's perfect for Halloween gatherings, while kids will bring an adorable little ghost to life that doubles as a tealight holder or festive table decoration.

No pottery experience is needed—we'll guide you through every step in a relaxed, beginner-friendly environment.

All pieces will be professionally glazed and kiln-fired after the workshop and ready for pickup in approximately 3–4 weeks.
