About this event
Pick your pumpkin from the patch and carve it into a permanent luminary as the days get darker! Ceramicist Kim Burnham of Imokim Pottery will provide each student with a hollow pumpkin form (about 6” tall) in the greenware stage, ready to be customized. Inspired by their pumpkin’s unique shape, students can add ridges, a face, or other carved designs that will be highlighted by a glowing candle. Finally, students choose a glaze color. After class, the projects will be dried and fired before returning to ASI for pick up. Additional information: Advanced registration required. Tools and Materials: A $35 materials fee is due to the instructor in class; this covers all materials and tools as well as the kiln firing. Projects will be returned to ASI the week of October 19 for pick up. Prerequisites: Skill level: Open to all skill levels. Ages: This class welcomes students ages 16+. A discounted ticket price for youth 16-17 is available at checkout.
