Please note:
- This is a free "drop-in" event for people of all ages, but our studio is not large! We will fit as many people in as we safely and enjoyably can.
- If there's a smaller number, we'll encourage people to stay longer, but if there's a lot of people, we'll encourage you to have fun creating or decorating a bat and then letting someone else try.
- Parents are expected to remain and help their children.
August 2nd will have two separate sessions will a break in between to allow us to refresh supplies and have lunch. The sessions will run from 10am-noon and 1-3pm, but they are drop-in, so you can come for as short of (space permitting) as long as the session runs. These sessions will focus on handbuilding (creating) the bats out of clay. We will quickly dry and then bisque fire them over the next week.
August 9th will focus on decorating the bats and that session will run from 10am-noon.
