• Are you seeking a creative outlet but find that your time – and training – is limited?

Participants will be guided as they shape and carve designs in a soft clay tile, which later will be fired in a kiln, and will be available for pick-up at the museum one week after each workshop. The event is set for Wednesday, Jan. 27, and again on Feb. 17, from 6-8 p.m. Tickets are $15 for members, $20 for non-members. Cost includes art materials and light refreshments.
