10:00 - 16:00

Level: Beginner and up

Make your own ceramic pumpkin this autumn with a step by step tutorial plus glaze application using a beautiful range of different glazes onto your finished make. Perfect for any skill level your piece will be built in two sections and then joined together. You will be taught traditional ceramic techniques plus a traditional handle pulling technique which will create a spiralling stalk for your pumpkin. 

After your make, you will be given the option of a variety of expressive and exciting glazes to use in variations that will highlight the texture and design of your pumpkin. At the end of your workshop, Chloe will take your piece to be dried, glazed and fired. This process takes between 3-5 weeks. Once your piece is ready, it will be returned to Micklems for you to collect.
