Celebrate the season with a fresh take on fall decor! In this hands-on workshop for adult patrons, led by local artist Sandy Garbrandt, you'll create an elegant blue-and-white faux-pumpkin featuring a timeless floral design inspired by classic porcelain patterns. Using simple crafting techniques, you'll create a beautiful seasonal decoration that will last for years to come. No experience is necessary. We'll provide all the materials and step-by-step instruction. Registration is required to reserve your materials. Space is limited.
